How can I step through a Perl program using Padre?

How can I step through a Perl program using Padre?

After much effort I installed CPAN Module Padre-1.00 on my home computer, which uses Windows 64bit and version 5.24.1 of Strawberry.

I also installed Padre's dependencies "Wx" and "Alien::wxWidgets", but all I can do with Padre at the moment is edit and save a Perl program, and run a Perl program from start to finish.

I see no icons for doing the normal debug activities, such as step into the next line, execute a function, and step out of a function

Can anyone help? There is a Padre web page saying you can use a Tools->Advanced option to get some additional icons on the toolbar but it doesn't work. Nor does there seem to be any key-binding for debug commands.

When I click the Padre’s "Bug" button – which supposedly puts Padre into a line-by-line debug mode – a DOS window titled "padre.exe -d " appears, and within the DOS it says "Press any key to continue".

I have seen internet comments that Padre has bugs and has not been changed in a year.

Can anyone help?. Have you found a way to run a Perl program in Padre line-by-line?

It's actually quite simple. You can launch debugger by clicking on one of the top menus:

Now, in the right panel there will be step to next and step over buttons:
