Installing Padre in Windows
• Via the cpan client that is available in
Strawberry Perl. ( Best approach for updated

My thoughts
• I really like the ease of use.
• It is hard to start because it is not packaged
for installation of latest version.
• Makes learning regex easy & fun.
• Running on a net book is ok but a PC should
be better.
• Should have a introduction book for
beginners.
