are you sure is a stripping issue ?

$ biber --help
Can't locate PAR.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 .) at -e 
line 951.

not surprising as PAR.pm is not part of any cygwin package
