In theory, the padre script gets installed into the same directory as your perl binary, so you should be able to run it by finding the place of Perl via which perl and then use that path:

$ which perl
/opt/perl/bin/perl
$ /opt/perl/bin/padre

[download]

But if Perl were in your path, then padre would also be. So do a find / -name 'padre', wait some time, and then hopefully your computer will have found where the padre script lies.

Alternatively, just copy padre to a file on your machine, make it executable and you have your own, personal padre, provided that the rest of the installation worked.
