When I try to compile perl script in Padre, it has no response at all

I have a question about Padre. When I try to compile a hello world perl script, it has no response at all. The Padre can still be running. And also, if try to start debugger, the Padre will halt. I even reinstall Padre it for several times but still. Do you know how to resolve this? Thanks very much.

This worked for me -

disable the 'enable perl beginner mode' in preference > language perl 5

If IDE still crashes on running the code, the best solution is to check the 'use external window' in the above window. Now Padre works fine compiling simple hello world as well as hello gtk scripts.

At times Padre has issue in Launching the window to show the output.

Go to Tools -> Preferences -> uncheck "Use External Window for execution"

also make sure the bin you want to use is the first one in Path variable

Similar issue - Padre IDE would come up, could load programs which were recognized by syntax highlighting as Perl, but Run/F5 didn't run script and debug would crash Padre.

Workaround found was to uninstall Padre (version was from http://padre.perlide.org/download.html), install Strawberry Perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) version 5.14.2.1 (default), and build Padre via cpan ( "C:>cpan Padre" per http://padre.perlide.org/trac/wiki/DownloadCPAN).

Running on Windows XP.

Other note, had to manually correct my PATH environment variable as with some of the installs and uninstalls, I had unneeded directories and one truncated directory set.

Which Perl are you using (ActivePerl or DWIM)?

(There is a way to install Padre with Active Perl).

When you go (without a debugger) "perl -v", what does it say?
