Hi,

When I click the "Bug" button a DOS window titled "padre.exe -d <PROGRAM_NAME>" appears, and within the DOS it says "Press any key to continue". When I press a key both the DOS window and the Padre display close.

You should ignore that window and only deal with Padre

You can see screenshots of what it looks like at http://padre.perlide.org/features/perl5-debugger.html

Do you see the same thing?

You can disable the "DOS window" if you go to
Alt+Tools
Preferences
Language - perl 5
Script Execution
[   ] Use external window for execution
