If you run 'perlbrew switch-off' first, it doesn't happen.

It appears to me that this is the behaviour of bash -- the "*" inside the $foo variable is a globbing operator and it got expanded in the command `echo $foo`. zsh does not seem to have this behaviour. I'm not certain if there are any shopts that can alter the behaivour of this.
