This Strawberry+Padre does not use the official Perl::Dist distribution construction toolkit used to create Strawberry. So if you already have a working Strawberry and are happy to install Padre via CPAN I would recommend staying with that.
I see this installer as approximating a third-party beta of Strawberry Professional, which will have many of the same extra add-ons (Padre, Moose, et al) as this does. That is being held back in part because the module install order right now needs to be manual (which sucks). Toolchain improvements shipped with 5.14 will hopefully let us move back towards a more automated dependency resolution. So I see this installer is providing a valuable stand in for Strawberry Professional so that we can hand an installer to newbies that won't be as imposing as the half hour to hour long cpan install process for Padre. I continue to recommend that you always have only one first class install of Perl on your system, excluding Portable versions.
