<cut and paste from terminal>
[eric@plum ~]$ perl -e 'print "abc "'
[eric@plum ~]$ echo abc
abc
[eric@plum ~]$ perl -e 'print "abc \n"'
"'abc
[eric@plum ~]$ zsh
[eric@plum ~]$ perl -e 'print "abc "'
[eric@plum ~]$ perl -e 'print "abc \n"'
abc
[eric@plum ~]$ bash
bash-2.03$ perl -e 'print "abc "'
abc bash-2.03$ perl -e 'print "abc \n"'
abc
</cut and paste from terminal>
With zsh, I have never been able to get output of a perl command
unless an explicit "\n" is entered. A straight echo or even:
echo 324542| sed 's/3/9/g'
does print out. (Also there is that weird `"'abc' output.
With bash all is as it should be.
Any ideas where I could look t fix this?

How do you get _this_?
Can't reproduce such behaviour.

Yes. This happens because zsh clears the whole line before drawing a
prompt. You can workaround the problem:
precmd() {
echo
}

Bash doesn't clear the line before drawing a prompt, so this behaviour
happens...

The perl command issues some output, but the output will be overwritten
by zsh's prompt.
