in reply to Debian: Problem installing PAR::Packer

You can save yourself a lot of grief by using the binary packages maintained by Debian instead of trying to install from CPAN if you are going to add modules to the system Perl.
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libpar-packer-perl

sudo apt-get install libpar-packer-perl

    I tried it. PAR::Packer exists but did not install (Apper) due to an 'invalid format'.
