Actually, you don't specifically need Mingw - you need a C or C++ compiler
to build PAR::Packer. Usually that's either MIngw or Microsoft Visual
Whatever.
For MIngw, I'd try https://mingw-w64.org/ - you'll want the  Win-builds
(packages binutils, gcc and make should be sufficient).

You probably have reasons to use ActiveState Perl, but there are
alternatives like Strawberry Perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) that come
with Mingw preinstalled.
