I'm somewhat surprised to see that the above worked.
The Free Toolkit is the compiler/linker from VC++ 7, whereas ActivePerl
is built with VC++ 6. These two versions of the compiler depend on
different versions of the C RunTime DLL (msvcr71.dll and msvcrt.dll
respectively) and you will often have big problems trying to mix the two.
If you want to use the Free Toolkit for building XS modules then you
would be well advised to rebuild Perl with it too rather than using
ActivePerl.
I'm also somewhat concerned that your compiler path includes "win64"
which sounds like a 64-bit edition of the compiler, whereas ActivePerl
is 32-bit.

Your program builds using the pp command above and runs fine for me,
having built PAR-0.89 with VC++ 6, and using ActivePerl 813.
Perl 5.8.7's perl58.dll exports a symbol called PL_memory_wrap, but perl
5.8.6's perl58.dll does not. Are you getting your perl installations
mixed up? Did your rebuild of PAR really work OK? It sounds like your
pop_up_hello.exe thinks it should be running with 5.8.7's dll, but
actually finds itself running with 5.8.6's dll.
