You could e.g. test for  $ENV{PAR_TEMP} to exist.

PAR has that, too, though - cough - not well documented. Just for the record:

The PAR::Tutorial on "Accessing packed files" is wrong in the context
of a packed executable.
You can get an Archive::Zip object for the packed executable (which is
actually a zip with something you don't really want to know stuck in
front of it) with

my $zip = PAR::par_handle($ENV{PAR_PROGNAME});
