Oren, You are correct. I forgot to mention that I spoke about the fact that I had to do a memory upgrade from 1 gig to 2 gigs and that I had a few memory issues while installing Strawberry Perl and Padre on my netbook with 1 gig ram. I used this example to argue the fact that Padre and Strawberry Perl needs to be packaged with the latest version of Padre to avoid time consumed on installing both.
PC with greater processing power than a netbook are ideal candidates for installing Padre. I am considering to work on a User Manual for Padre but I need to spend some time looking at the docs that are available to formulate a list of questions before I begin. FYI my presentation has inspired many of my coworkers to install and consider working with Padre. Thanks again for building such a wonderful IDE for Perl.
