Why?

The first announcement is here.

What infrastructure does Cupt use?

It uses the same APT infrastructure, e.g. index files, deb cache archive files, configuration files. It understands some of widely used APT options.

What useful features has Cupt already?

What features will Cupt have in future?

See incomplete roadmap.

Why Perl?

Can I use Cupt along with libapt-based package managers?

Yes, you can mix apt-get/apt-cache/aptitude/etc. with cupt without bad consequences.
