it was written like that cause that is how we want it, it's the same if we just called perl5.8.0 then it would run the first one found right. it's up to the user is he has that many perls installed that he needs a path IMHO.

When doing things like 'perl5.8.0 Makefile.PL' during the build phase
of a versioned perl module, should we be using "the first perl5.8.0 in
PATH" or %p/bin/perl5.8.0? The first is how 'Type: perl 5.8.0' seems
to do it, but it seems like if the user has some other perl5.8.0
higher in PATH we're going to have a perl that was compiled with
unknown options. The latter seems like a better guarantee of
consistency.
