The Zoidberg perl shell 0.40 is now availabel from CPAN.
See also http://zoidberg.student.utwente.nl/ .

Zoidberg provides a modular Perl shell written, configured, and operated
entirely in Perl. It aspires to be a fully operational login shell with
all the features one normally expects. But it also gives direct access
to Perl objects and data structures from the command line, and allows
you to run Perl code within the scope of your commandline.

Changes are to numerous to mention them all. Most of the internal
interfaces where simplified, fixing a lot of bugs in the process.
Job control code became considerably more stable. Variable expansion
and pseudo-arrays where added to the shell syntax.
