I'd be inclined to call it par-archive, rather than par.pl, but it
probably doesn't matter a lot. The problem with par.pl is that the ".pl"
really adds no information about what this par is, and par is pretty
widely known as a formatting program. My first assumption would have been
that it was a reimplementation of par in Perl. par-archive makes it clear
that it's really about managing a particular archive format.
