I just installed Padre earlier this week on a Win7 x64 system that had ActivePerl version 5.12.1 (32-bit) installed.

Basically, I followed the steps listed here, but with the GUI interface to PPM. The basic steps were: 1) add the wxperl repository, 2) install Alien-wxWidgets, 3) install Wx, and 4) install Padre.

If I remember correctly, one or more of the modules (Alien-wxWidgets, Wx) was also available from ActiveState's repository. When I tried that version first, the Padre install failed. After uninstalling that module and installing the one from the wxperl repository, I had no issues installing Padre. In other words, I'd recommend installing all 3 of those modules from the wxperl repository.

I'm not sure if this information would help you, but thought I'd share the steps that I went through on a very similar setup to yours.

Also, if you look at the very bottom of that link that I provided, there's a link on how to contact the Padre folks for more assistance.
