Oops, sorry, I missed the completion part in the subject.

My solution allows perlbrew to work in zsh.  I haven't changed
~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc at all.  It doesn't implement any
completion.  I didn't even know there was completion for it and had
considered writing it myself.

Fortunately, I don't need to:

if [[ -e ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc ]] then
    . ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc
    . ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/perlbrew-completion.bash
fi

With this completion works in zsh too.
