I believe that I now have a fix for this. See:

https://github.com/rschupp/PAR-Packer/pull/14

There is a contributed small program which is run on the pp exe and edits it in-place. This makes codesigning work. There is a also a small fix for par.pl required in PAR::Packer to allow unpacking of codesigned exes. With these two elements in place, in my tests, I can codesign and run a pp binary.

Doubling both to 256k would likely be appropriate. All tests for PAR::Packer pass if I do this but I still get the same error after codesigning so I am missing something as Archive::Zip still fails to find the EOCD marker for some reason, even with the increased window size which does (I have checked) include the EOCD marker once the ChunkSize has been modified.
