As reported elsewhere the first super easy Padre installer for Windows was released last week.

It is now called the Almost Six package as it contains a development version of Rakudo Perl 6.

Almost six contains the following packages:

It is very easy to download the msi package and then install it as you would install any other Windows application.

Then you can start writing either Perl 5 or Perl 6 code.

I was on YAPC::EU in the last 3 days but there almost everyone is using Linux or Mac OSX. So I wonder what do you people suggest? How can we attract Windows users who write Perl code to try Padre an give us feedback?
