$0 in a pp generated executable is set to the name of the executable -
so that a simple

   die "usage: $0 ...\n"

will come out right. But that's wrong for Pod::Usage, so pp patches
the packed copy of Pod/Usage.pm to use "$ENV{PAR_0} || $0" in place of "$0".
Hence you should use

   $ENV{PAR_0} = "$ENV{PAR_TEMP}/inc/script/$which";

to trick Pod::Usage into using the POD in the script being "do"ne.
