yes, IIRC zoidberg had a good handling of Term::Readline (I don't like the underlying documentation of Gnu-Readline )

And there was also another attempt ("perlshell" ? "psh"?) where pipe was overloaded.

But I'm asking about technical limitations, because I'm thinking about patching the perldebugger in a REPL/Shell way.

Technically, seems like it should work fine. It would probably be convenient for at least some one-off tasks, or for working out the logic of a script-able procedure. And a lot of what can be done in *sh can be done in Perl with out using external executables. (Not that I see anything intrinsically wrong with using external executables - especially when *sh issues can be avoided by bypassing *sh.)
