Hi Max. Actually, I think it's important to release a version of the bootstrap with this choice to be made, to be used by folks who have replaced their Apple-supplied /usr/bin/perl by perl 5.8.0.

I didn't argue that; however, i do argue that the need always justify the means. We should deal with it of course, but with a good solution, not with a bad solution (and asking in the middle of the bootstrap an additional question like this *is* a bad solution in my eyes).
There are various ways we could modify the bootstrap procedure to cope
with this and eleminate the "choice in the middle", but I suggest we wait
until the first seed of 10.3 (on June 23) before deciding how to modify
our bootstrap procedure.
I would agree if we then also waited with that 5.8.0 changes. But AFAIU, you already made them. This is bad. Why should we wait for 10.3 to fix the current bad situation in CVS? I don't see the logic in that.
No, IMHO it should be done right, and *now*. We definitely shouldn't make a new package manager release with the current behavior, which I plainly consider as broken.
