If i recall it correctly for windows you must download the dwimperl Perl version. Infact also in the Padre's download page is stated the same. There is also a standalone version of Padre, see Padre's howto L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

:) Install padre from cpan, the padre included with dwimperl for windows is as old as dwim perl for windows, which is still a very old release candidate of http://strawberryperl.com/release-notes/5.14.2.1-32bit.html ... newer versions of strawberryperl comes with newer gcc toolchain ... there have been 20 releases since then	[reply]

how did you address all these failed tests and failed installation issues?	[reply]

I will try to switching to Strawberry Perl 32bit as I read that compiler doesn't have these issues? No. A failing test is generally not a compiler issue, so 32bit or 64bit, makes no difference. Look at the matrix, look at the win32 reports, version format error, unexpected warning ... these are not 32/64 bit compiler issues, the module got compiled successfully, it just failed a few tests Other than that is it possible to install Padre first and then update the Strawberry Perl? No. But, as long as you it using a portable perl, and you don't overwrite that perl with a new perl, then you'll have two perls installed, and in that way you can install padre and then upgrade your perl, and padre will still work	[reply]

Piling on I will note that strawberry-perl-5.22.1.2-64bit will not allow Padre to install, and neither will the 14 January snapshot of OpenBSD. The former fails as described above, and the latter says it wants a perl compiled with threads. The real absurdity is that I only wanted Padre because I read it has a vi mode, and I want a vi for Win 7. Not vim, really; I want good old nvi.	[reply]

Recently I was able to get Padre minimally working on Linux (but not for Perl 6) by making patches to Padre and its dependency Term::ReadLine::Gnu. I started with patches from the Padre mailing list and other references, and I had to make a few more minor changes. I don't know if that will help on Windows, but I assume it is worth a try. Update: Get the patched modules here.	[reply]
