There will be an option -u (or --unicode) to pp in the next release of PAR::Packer
that essentially will do just that. Or you could try to pack with "pp -x ...". 

BTW, what's the full pp command line that you used?

But I don't see why "-a Unicode::UCD" would pack a file "lib/version" into your 
executable. Please try to pack with "pp -vv ..." and check its output where it gets
lib/version from.
