I think given the amount of material out there for learning Perl, don't see a need to teach Perl per se', however examples of using Padre to make the most of programming in Perl is much needed. Believe it or not, I don't know how to do that vertical alignment of the text. Keyboard short cuts, making Padre help my coding time be more productive and other things I think are in Padre just aren't evident. I still get a lot of value out of Padre with the Syntax checker running all the time, I can see errors straight away. The F2 help works well too, however I'm not sure it should be modal though. I should be able to hit F2 and then drag it to the side and work in the editor while referring to the help. Anyway, the point is, I agree totally. Just as vim is a very power text editor, I'm still stuck with CRTL-J to join a line and CRTL-V to go into visual mode... but I'm stumped after that. I've just discovered vimcasts: http://vimcasts.org/ from following a link mentioned in the Mojolicious screen casts blog. I'm going to spend time on that site learning more about vim ( Padre can't be used everywhere.. :) ). I see a lot of value in short screen casts that cover "simple" things like the vertical text align. How to use the auto complete, how to use Padre's tools to make coding simpler, like opening a module in a new editor that's referenced in a module you are working on... that sort of thing will certainly assist not just me I expect. :) Pete.
