Your .inputrc trick is really cool.  It could make life a lot
easier -- now I just have to think of the keys and the corresponding
bindings :-)

In eshell, maybe abbrevs could do something similar?

And then, of course, you can always do

(defun hp-eshell-perl-cpan ()
  (interactive)
  (insert "perl -MCPAN -e shell"))
(require 'eshell)
(define-key eshell-mode-map 'hp-eshell-cpan)

I hope it works.
