Project Objectives

Some of the objectives of the project:

• Make it very easy to start using it, especially for Perl development.
• Easy installation on Windows, Linux and other operating systems
• By default work like notepad, hide most of the options.
• Make it very Perl beginner friendly
• Out of the box allow running Perl scripts, have Perl documentation.
• Provide a variety of assistance options to help with learning Perl.
• Auto-detect as much as possible, to provide a Do What I Mean working style.
• Support for development of large cross language applications
• Project-specific editor configuration.
• Boilerplate creation for CPAN modules, Catalyst applications, and more.
• Extend Padre with plugins to add new interfaces and functionality.
• Support for languages that are often used with Perl (SQL, Javascript, HTML, XML)
• Support for other programming languages (Python, PHP, Ruby etc.)
• Support for Parrot and Perl 6
• Support for Moose, Mouse and MooseX::Declare

IRC

Padre's IRC channel is very active, and the best first point of call for questions or assistance.

We hang out on #padre on irc.perl.org

It is being logged here: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/padre/today

You can also use the web-based IRC client on Mibbit from our IRC page

Support

You can try our mailing list or IRC, but I am sure the PerlMonks will be glad to help you as well.

History

Before 7 August 2008 the source code was kept in a different SVN repository under various names. There was no easy way to transfer it so I started this repository from scratch. That pre-history can be found here:

http://svn1.hostlocal.com/szabgab/trunk/Wx-Tutorial -r 941

http://svn1.hostlocal.com/szabgab/trunk/App-Editor -r 1080

The About page has links to related blog posts from before Padre was released.

Release History

Padre is written in Perl 5 using wxWidgets
