Padre crashes on debug

[Johan De Meersman]

I installed Padre on a fairly standard Mint/Cinnamon desktop (Maya, based on Ubuntu Precise), from the usual repositories. It installs and works fine, but whenever I try do debug a script, It crashes and I get the following:

Unable to connect to remote host: localhost:12466
Compilation failed in require.
 at perlpadretest.pl line 0
        main::BEGIN() called at perlpadretest.pl line 0
        eval {...} called at perlpadretest.pl line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
 at perlpadretest.pl line 0
Debugged program terminated. Use q to quit or R to restart,
  use o inhibit_exit to avoid stopping after program termination,
  h q, h R or h o to get additional info.
  DB<1>

This is Padre 0.90.ds1-1 on 32-bit, with perl 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.1.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Feb 2014: Ubuntu 13.10 installed Padre from the application directory (https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/padre/).

Padre does not appear to crash, when I attempt to run or debug a Perl file. It simply does not perform either task.

I can confirm the latest updated to an Ubuntu Gnome distro and the Padre package will not run or debug perl code.

This is not the best way to install Padre on a Linux system though, the latest version of Padre can be download installed using cpan

cpan App::cpanminus
cpanm Alien::wxWidgets
cpanm Wx
cpanm Padre
