Strawberry Perl is relatively full-featured, and allows the user to use standard CPAN tools for installing modules. I don't know if the Padre IDE is up to date anymore. I never really got it working right and couldn't be bothered trying. When I used to use Windows I used Geany as my editor, though if I were to go back to Windows I would probably use vim or gvim. Nowadays I would probably prefer using the Windows Subsystem for Linux instead of straight Windows Power Shell or Command line. With WSL you should be able to install a linux flavor of Perl using typical build tools. I like Perlbrew or PLENV for managing a non-system Perl (or several of them). Click-button module management and a Perl IDE used to be the domain of ActivePerl from ActiveState. Active Perl and Strawberry Perl are two different builds, and two different ecosystems. ActivePerl, back when I used it over ten years ago, had more of its own package management system, whereas Strawberry Perl provides the Perl-standard module management system. Please keep in mind that with Windows Subsystem for Linux, or with VirtualBox, or even with Docker, you can be far less reliant on the underlying operating system nowadays.
