 Feedback is welcome.

+== Installation from Source ==
+
+To run Padre on FreeBSD you have to recompile Perl to support threads.
+To verify whether your Perl installation has thread support turned on run following command.
+{{{
+$ perl -V:usethreads
+usethreads='define';
+}}}
+
+If the result is `define` then you have already threaded Perl installed, otherwise execute:
+{{{
+# cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 && make WITH_THREADS=yes
+# make deinstall && make reinstall
+}}}
+Optionally you can substitute `make WITH_THREADS=yes` with the following and choose `THREADS` in the menu.
+Then uninstall and reinstall Perl as above.
+This has an advantage over the previous method, because the preferred configuration options will be stored in your system's packing database.
+This way next time you'll be building Perl (i.e. updating) all stored options will be applied without the need to manually specify them.
+{{{
+# make config
+# make
+}}}
+
+To install Padre and its dependencies just execute:
+{{{
+# cd /usr/ports/editors/p5-Padre
+# make install clean
+}}}
