I am not so sure the answer to the OP's question has anything whatsoever to
do with PAR.

There are two possibilities:

1. testfile.exe's source is under the OP's control. In this case, brian's
advice applies.

2. testfile.exe's source is not under the OP's control. In this case, the
original language testfile.exe was written in and the fact that it was
compiled with PAR becomes irrelevant. If testfile.exe does expect and
handle parameters specified on the command line, then the OP can use the
system function to do so.

If testfile.exe is not designed and written to expect command line
parameters, then it is not possible to pass command line parameters to
testfile.exe.

To sum up,

If (1) applies, refactor code as per Brian's suggestion.
If (2) applies read testfile.exe's documentation and

perldoc -f system

This answer does not depend on the precise way in which testfile.exe came
to existence.
