Dear respected PerlMonks

I apologize if this is a newbie question.

I have been using Padre 0.86 with ActiveState Perl (on Windows 7). Padre 0.86 turned out to be buggy, so I've installed DWIM Perl 5.14.2, which enables Padre 0.94.

Now, when running Padre, it turns out that the Perl source doesn't get the "scintilla", in other words, the entire code is grey, no colors for Perl keywords etc. If I go in the menu: 'View' -> 'View document as' -> 'Perl 6', then it does color the code (but then the debugger does weird things).

What should I do to enable meaningful source coloring?

TIA
