After hearing the good news Padre 0.34 released I've been giving it a go but with little success.
Despite claims on the download page, I've been struggling now for two whole evenings with very little luck.
$ sudo cpan -i Padre
Looks pretty innocent and straight forward doesn't it? Yeah right. A bit of a nightmare, which is really too bad. I was really excited to try it out and get involved myself.

have you seen the fine print?
but many of the dependencies need manual attention and it can take several hours to install it the first time
Please join us on irc.perl.org #padre so we can help you get over the admittedly annoying installation issues.
Perhaps calling it a nightmare is a bit exaggerated (sorry), but it was late in the night and I felt pretty frustrated after feeling so excited. Glad you guys can give me a hand!
Turns out that I should of read the download instructions better by first installing the gtk libs:
$ apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxbase2.8-dev libwxbase2.8-0
and
$ apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
