It may not be in experimental, but it is in unstable ;-)
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/perl/padre

If I understand it correctly, the stability hierarchy in Debian is

experimental
unstable
testing
stable

Normal development takes place in unstable. Packages that do not have
release-critical bugs for a while get promoted to testing.
Packages move from unstable/testing to stable only in a major release,
which is a rather rare event.

Experimental is only used for packages where the maintainers know
beforehand that they may break things.

I hope I got that more or less right; Damyan, correct me where I am wrong.

Best regards,
  Zeno
