Re: Installing Padre through cpan for strawberry per 5.20.1 by davido (Cardinal) on Nov 11, 2014 at 07:04 UTC
Looking at the CPAN Testers Matrix, I don't get the impression that Padre is really intended to be installed from source via CPAN. 34 fails, and 22 passes is awful. The matrix doesn't even show any Perl-5.20 passes. The website for Padre: http://padre.perlide.org/ offers several download options for Windows which probably work great, but they will all take you back to Perl 5.14. This is probably mostly because there are dependencies that can't be pulled in directly from CPAN. You might find it possible to install from the Padre website's download, and then after the installation is working, upgrade Strawberry Perl to 5.20. At least that way you start out with a working version that has all the necessary equipment packaged with it. Dave	[reply]

The matrix doesn't even show any Perl-5.20 passes. It is, its just got a few stupid tests that fail reliably ... if two test files out of 50 fail, go ahead and force install it	[reply]

Had lots of errors like this with the 64bit version of Strawberry. Uninstalled it and reinstalled the 32bit version, and Padre (and a lot of other things) just started to work from CPAN. Your mileage might vary of course, but worth a go.	[reply]
