So users invoke them as

  parl some.par foo.pl
  parl some.par bar.pl
  ...

where foo.pl, bar.pl are packed in some.par?

Pack a main script such as

  my $which = shift @ARGV;   # note: probably should do some sanitizing
  my $rc = do "$ENV{PAR_TEMP}/script/$which";
  die $@ if !defined $rc && $@;   # script not found, failed to compile etc
  exit(0);                   # in case script didn't call exit() itself

into some.exe, then users can invoke this as

  some.exe foo.pl
  some.exe bar.pl
  ...
