in reply to Problems with Padre 0.94 on Windows

I don't use Padre, so take this with an appropriate sized portion of salt, but since noone else seems to be responding to your question, I hazard a guess based opon your description of the symptoms.

It seems likely that at this point you have two (or more) separate installs of Padre on your system, possibly trying to share some parts of their configuration -- config files or possibly registry entries -- that are conflicting or confusing your newest installation.

Whilst with sufficient knowledge of the particular tools, it might be possible to sort this out manually, usually the simplest approach is to ensure that uninstall -- it does come with an uninstaller doesn't it -- all copies of the program; and delete all config files and registry entries associated with all those installations -- hopefully they are documented somewhere -- and then install the version you want again.

    What do you use for a debugger?

      On the rare occasions I use a debugger, I use the one built in to perl perl -d script.pl See perldebug for details.

      But generally, unless I'm debugging other people's code, I rarely resort to even that. I find that if you develop incrementally, top-down, and do trail runs after each addition, debugger's are more trouble than they are worth.
