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.
