Replying to claudio:
I can confirm this bug on 0.47 running on Ubuntu 9.04.
Have you looked at the stderr output in the console ?
Trying to install a module, I got:
L: Getopt::Euclid
mkdir /home/karl/.cpan/sources/authors/id/K/KG: Permission denied at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/CPAN/FTP.pm line 501
DESTROY ignored because DBI dbh handle (DBD::SQLite::db) is owned by thread 81f3008 not current thread 9541550
Perl exited with active threads:
2 running and unjoined
0 finished and unjoined
0 running and detached
The important point is the mkdir... permission denied.
My guess is that you don't have the permissions to install a module, so it crashed.
Easy test/fix: run padre on root, and try again. In my case it worked.

- Component changed from plugins to advanced perl tools
