Turns out this is indeed a longstanding bug (and one upstream is likely 
to continue ignoring) that PAR::Packer uses the version string as a 
proxy for ABI compatibility:

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=92352

The package is in the hands of Yaakov, so either he's going to provide 
an update shortly or you downgrade Perl to 5.22.0 for the moment.  If a 
new package is made available, I wouldn't mind if the version check was 
patched to check the last component for greater-or-equal instead of 
equal.  Testing for equality makes no sense unless we'd bundle 
PAR::Packer with the perl package in Cygwin.
