I don't think there is any question that long-run we want to have all the installation done entirely in Perl. This is good because it reduces dependencies and thus the overall complexity of the installation. In fact Erik has always said to me that this needed to be ported to Perl if it worked well.
I think shell scripts are almost ideal for reference implementations of administrative tasks because they are quite transparent, easy to read, and represent an environment that virtually all of us are familiar with regardless of whether we do SQL or Perl coding or Sysadmin work. We have the infrastructure to do all this in Perl already, but the interface is not very good yet. I am going to start a second thread on that, but I don't want to hijack this discussion too much. I will say that there are discussions about how we see the db installation process that may need to be hashed out a little because they involve dependencies. But on the whole, the question is: What do people think of Erik's script as a reference implementation? Is the UI good? What can be improved from a user perspective?
