Vi mode in Psh

targetsmart has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was very curious to use this psh(perl shell), I was using bash and I love bash, but because of my recent addiction to perl, I wanted to make one of the perl shells as my default shell, I choose this psh, but I became handicapped because i tried the option 'set -o vi', which enables the vi mode in command line in bash.(I really love vim because it was my default editor for years), Does psh have this feature?, if so please point me out, otherwise tell me that other ways of mimicking vi mode in psh, because I really wanted to use one of the perl shells.

Thanks, it worked, by setting this 'fc -e vi' it just gives the vi editor support in a separate vim window, it is also nice, but one more doubt, is it possible to get that vi feature on the command line itself(bash actually have this feature). (I believe that I am not expecting too much of this perl shell, but just curious to know whether it is possible, because it will definitely increase my speed in working with command line editing interface).

The most expected 'vi' mode in my case; along with the power of perl comes with the 'zoidberg' perl shell. it can be found here http://search.cpan.org/~pardus/Zoidberg-0.96/man1/zoid.pod Vivek -- In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act.
