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

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
