Can you use Padre and ActivePerl?

HatTemper has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hey, I'm new at Perl and I downloaded the ActivePerl5.8.9. I was thinking of using Padre as an IDE but it seems as if the version they are using is different. padre-on-strawberry-5.12.3.0-v5.exe I need to use the 5.8.9 Is there a way of making them work without problems? Thanks

If you're new at Perl, then why have you downloaded an ancient version of ActivePerl?	[reply]

After a very quick google the first hit suggests: http://padre.perlide.org/trac/wiki/DownloadActivePerl. That might be a place to start	[reply]

It should work if you put the two versions of Perl in separate directories. You could also just uninstall one Perl version and download the other, but I recommend the first choice. --perl.j	[reply]
