-=== Strawberry Perl ===
-Download Strawberry Perl from here: [http://www.strawberryperl.com/]
-
-On Strawberry Perl 5.10, starting from version 5.10.0.3 you 
-can install Padre by starting the CPAN shell and typing
-{{{
-  cpan> install Padre
-}}}
-
-However, before you do that, you may wish to install Alien::wxWidgets and Wx as .par files - they build on Windows, but on slower systems, they're... slow.
-
-{{{
-  C:\>perl -MPAR::Dist -e"install_par(q(http://www.strawberryperl.com/download/padre/Alien-wxWidgets-0.46-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10.1.par))"
-  C:\>perl -MPAR::Dist -e"install_par(q(http://www.strawberryperl.com/download/padre/Wx-0.94-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10.1.par))"
-}}}
-
-'''Note''': installing Padre in a fresh install of Strawberry Perl can lead to weird behaviour, like preferences not being saved on exit (due to Padre crashing on exit). See the comments for #258 for a workaround.
-
-On previous releases of Strawberry Perl 5.10 you can install it 
-following these steps
-{{{
-  cpan> look Alien::wxWidgets
-  $ perl Makefile.PL
-  $ dmake
-  $ dmake test
-  $ dmake install
-  $ exit
-  cpan> look Wx
-  $ perl Makefile.PL
-  $ dmake
-  $ dmake test
-  $ dmake install
-  $ exit
-  cpan> install Padre
-}}}
-
-Once it is installed you can start Padre either by
-{{{
-Start/Run and type in padre
-}}}
-
-
-or by creating a shortcut and then clicking on it.
-
-When creating the shortcut use the following as command:
-{{{
-C:\strawberry\perl\bin\wperl.exe C:\strawberry\perl\bin\padre.bat
-}}}
-note we are using wperl here instead of perl in order to avoid the extra 
-command shell window.
-
-'''Note''': For updating Padre on Strawberry Perl you can use the CPAN shell client of Strawberry: 
-{{{
-C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl -MCPAN -e shell
-}}}
-
-{{{
-upgrade Padre
-}}}
-
-To find whether there's an update - you can do: 
-{{{
-i /Padre/
-}}}
-(or simply follow the mailing list ;-)
-
-
-=== Active Perl ===
-
-[http://www.activestate.com/]
-
-Once you have installed Active Perl you need to configure two additional PPM
-repositories and then you can install Padre using the ppm pacakging system.
-Let's see how to do it in the Command Shell:
-
-{{{
-Start/Run/cmd ENTER
-ppm rep add wxperl http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository  
-ppm rep add padre  http://www.perlide.org/download/ppm/
-
-ppm install Alien-wxWidgets
-ppm install Wx
-ppm install Padre
-}}}
-
-You might have to install Alien-wxWidgets-gcc. If this conflicts with Alien-wxWidgets - you can try use --force: 
-{{{
-ppm install  Alien-wxWidgets-gcc  --force
-}}}
-
-Once that's done you can start Padre by typing
-{{{
-perl c:\perl\site\bin\padre
-}}}
-or
-{{{
-wperl c:\perl\site\bin\padre
-}}}
-
-Replace "c:\perl" with the path, where Active Perl is installed.
-
-==== Older Active Perl details ====
-
-The manual installation is still a bit rough but we are working on improving it.
-
- 1) (A) Most of the modules - can be taken from the main  ActiveState Package Repository. 
-
- (B) For Active Perl there are prebuilt PPM versions of Alien::wxWidgets and Wx (aka. wxPerl)
- and can be installed from [http://wxperl.co.uk/]. 
-
- So add the wxperl repository to the PPM: http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository
- (for detailed instructions see http://wxperl.co.uk/ppm.html )
- (and even more info here http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html )
-
- Adding the repository to your PPM repository list:  
- In PPM4 (ActivePerl 820+) this is most easily done via the GUI menu option:  Edit -> Preferences. 
-   
- If you use PPM3 - or used to command line (==DOS , still usable for PPM4) - you can do: 
-   {{{
-ppm rep add wxperl http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository 
-   }}}
-
-
-
-
- 2) Install all the packages (except of course perl) listed as "requires" on
-    http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk/Padre/Makefile.PL  - by using ppm. 
-  Don't worry about the order of installation and report us any problem you encounter.
-
-  You can do in by searching the "requires" packages listed in the above link - 
-  either by using the PPM4 GUI, or searching PPM command line (==DOS):
-  {{{
-ppm search App::Ack
-  }}}
- The result may look like this:
-   {{{
-C:\Documents and Settings\orenm>ppm search App::Ack
-Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not modified
-1: ack
-   A grep-like program specifically for large source trees
-   Version: 1.86
-   Released: 2008-07-09
-   Author: Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>
-   Provide: App::Ack version 1.86
-   Require: File::Basename
-   Require: File::Next version 0.4 or better
-   Require: Getopt::Long
-   Require: Term::ANSIColor
-   Require: Test::Harness version 2.5 or better
-   Require: Test::More
-   Repo: ActiveState Package Repository
-   CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/ack-1.86/
-
-C:\Documents and Settings\orenm>
-    }}}
-  So now you shall do: 
-    {{{
-ppm install ack
-    }}}
-
-
- 3) then open the cpan client and install Padre:
-{{{
-  c:> perl -MCPAN -eshell
-  cpan> install Padre
-}}}
-
-Oren Maurer reported that you might need to force it:
-{{{
-  cpan> force install Padre
-}}}
-
-
-at some point you might encounter an error like this:
-
-{{{
- Running install for module 'Padre'
- Running make for S/SZ/SZABGAB/Padre-0.06.tar.gz
- CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.45)
- Fetching with LWP:
-  http://ppm.activestate.com/CPAN/authors/id/S/SZ/SZABGAB/CHECKSUMS
- Alert: While trying to 'parse' YAML file
-  'D:\ActiveState\Perl\cpan\FTPstats.yml'
- with 'YAML::XS' the following error was encountered:
-  Usage: YAML::XS::LibYAML::Load(yaml_str) at
- D:\ActiveState\Perl\lib/YAML/XS.pm
-  line 70.
-}}}
-
-
-The reported solution was this:
-{{{
-  [reach the cpan shell:]
-  C:\>cpan
-  cpan> o conf yaml_module ''
-  cpan> o conf commit
-  commit: wrote 'C:\Perl\lib/CPAN/Config.pm'
-  cpan> q
-}}}
-(See: [http://groups.google.com/group/de.comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_thread/thread/3a347d02a1ebf464] and
-[http://perl.org.il/pipermail/perl/2008-September/009779.html] )
-
-Other things that to do and can help:
-
-   1. upgrading last version of Encode - using ppm , 
-
-   Note: 
-      For upgrading all PPM packages, do this (Windows command line, a.k.a Dos)
-{{{
-    ppm upgrade --install 
-}}}
-   2. upgrade of Wx - also by using ppm ,
-   3. installing Alien-wxWidgets (the same way... ppm),
-   4. And now - do (again with ppm):
-{{{
-    ppm install  --force Alien-wxWidgets-dev
-}}}
