Copyrighted and patented, eh? Just so you know, if you haven't ACTUALLY patented it yet, I don't think you will be able patent it in the future, since you've just published it :)
I don't know anything on CPAN that specifically applies to your scenario, but you might want to look at the programs Katapult (for KDE) and Quicksilver (for OS X). They're not shell replacements, but they do the handy search-plugin thing really well (especially Quicksilver). Browsing over the code for Katapult (which is open source) may give you some ideas.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
