Hello Padre dev and users, Consider, you are just learning Perl and you want a good editor. There's only one choice... Padre. And, because it is in development the installation takes special considerations. For instance, yesterday I learned this is the very worst thing a noob can do...
sudo cpan Padre Do that on your System Perl and you no longer have a working copy of Perl because sudo changed the folder permissions up and down the file tree to 'Root'. They don't call perl the 'Swiss Army Chainsaw' for nothing. Changing back to the original file permissions is impossible. So... reformat ext4, LiveCD install Ubuntu 9.10. Then... after I get back to an internet access I search online about installing a local copy of Perl into my user folder. I installed module local::lib; then cpan Padre; then used the CPAN Padre-info-page to locate Padre::Plugin::Tidy. Now I have an application that helps me to write Perl code. Furthermore, I have more confidence about adding any more perl modules. The zipped download (v.55) from the Padre-dev web page is too finicky about the path/to/padre.sh. I gave up on that, because of Perl::Tidy the v.55 crashes, and, if you unzipped the padre-perl combo archive into your (new) Perl5.1 folder, like I say, the shell won't run. You get: padre.sh: 14: /home/vcbrad/padre-5.11/perl-5.11.4-xl-0.03/perl/bin/perl: not found I would be willing to write a HowTo of how I got a working copy of Padre v.66. It does take pre-installation of Wx. The steps I went through are very fuzzy. So, if I can ask questions from you guys about general perl install to a local location, I will write the HowTo. regards, bvc _______________________________________________ Padre-dev mailing list Padre-dev@perlide.org http://mail.perlide.org/mailman/listinfo/padre-dev
