Greetings monks,

I was browsing around and found Linux Magazine article on Zoidberg, a shell written in Perl.

From the Zoidberg homepage:

"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 command line. "

I think this looks quite interesting, and will be checking it out when I get home.
Some of you may have already seen this, but I thought I would post this as I think it may be of interest to some of you, even though its still in a Beta stage of development.

Regards

Martin
