Not in the current version. It looks like it should be easy enough to hack,
though. Just remove lines 1360-1362 of dbdimp.c:
if (16 == type) {
*val = (*val == 'f') ? '0' : '1'; /* bool: translate postgres into perl */
}
This will probably mean that tests will fail, but looks harmless enough
otherwise.
