Come on, give me a break. Would you expect to be able to use a DBI which you compiled on linux/x64 to work on Windows/32bit? I don't think so.
Which was, in fact, my point. PAR doesn't help. Additionally, it isn't obvious how to use PAR to do things like install an example configuration file in /etc.
autoconf and tar, on the other hand, do help.
And the problem with PAR not installing - this is a bog-standard Debian box, with compilers and whatnot. I can't be bothered with subscribing to a mailing list just to report a bug on what is probably the most common platform, especially when it's a bug in software that isn't even particularly useful to me.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
