I have ActivePerl version 5.12.2.1202 and PPM version 4.11 installed.
I would like to use a debugger with a GUI where I can see the Perl program variables. After getting disappointed of Eclipse and EPIC, (since it seems they are terribly un-userfriendly and unforgiving (lots of failures)), I decided to try out Padre.
I added the wxperl repository to the PPM repositories, and downloaded Padre.
When I go "padre" at the command prompt, I get the error:
The program can't start because wxmsw28u_core_custom.dll is missing from your computer.
I then uninstalled Padre, and followed the advice on the ActivePerl web site - at the command prompt, I say: "ppm install padre". Padre gets installed, but again, when I go "padre" at the command prompt, I get the error:
The program can't start because wxmsw28u_core_custom.dll is missing from your computer.
(Note that Padre is supposed to be working with ActivePerl).
My system is Windows 7 x64. I have run the command box as "administrator", and it didn't help.
What to do?
