jcoxi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,
I've installed Padre using cpan install Padre. Everything seemed fine during the installation process.
However when I try to launch the ide (by clicking on C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\padre.exe), a window appears briefly and closes immediately.
I ran padre.bat (in the same folder) and got the following response:
Invalid version format (non-numeric data) at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Padre/Document.pm line 126.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Padre/Document.pm line 126.
Compilation failed in require at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Padre/Wx/Main.pm line 4115.
Perl exited with active threads:
        1 running and unjoined
        0 finished and unjoined
        0 running and detached
I'm running windows xpsp3 with strawberry perl 5.18 Thanks in advance for your help

    Which version of Padre? What is on line 125 of ...Padre/Document.pm?

    Try  cpan PLAVEN/Padre-1.00.tar.gz

      Padre version is 1.0
