This seems like a good question, but it might fail to get the attention of someone who authoritatively knows the answer.

Getting your question in front of the right set of eyes is crucial when asking questions on specific tools. Our tool here is Perl. The IDE you are discussing is written in Perl, but we're not focused on its development. You could get lucky and find someone among PerlMonks users who happens to also be focused on Padre, but that would be an intersection of the two sets, "Perl Users", and "Padre Supporters".

There may very well be a few individuals here who form that intersection, but I think it's probably better to ask the question to the people who form the correct set in the first place; http://padre.perlide.org/contact.html. On that web page they mention IRC and a mailing list as good possibilities for support.

I am particulary interested in the Windows version of it and tried without any success to build Padre under Strawberry Perl 5.18.

What did you do? :)

Try using  cpanm -f version Padre

While you can see lots of test failures http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Padre+1.00 here, if you look at the tests, the failures are trivial (ignorable), so just ignore them

"tried without any success to build Padre"

Your last post said you'd past one problem when building it yourself, you didn't mention any more, what happened?

Update: Ignore me. Seriously though, ignore this post.
