"go shopping" comes from american English. The Brits will say "go to shop" or just "shop" For swedish or chinese, that's indeed confusion. but given the popularity of american movies, ..
Perhaps, but look at this: "I am going to the church" emphasizes a particular church *building*, while "I am going to church" means attending some event there. If you "go shopping" you are shopping as you go, so, unless I am walking and eating (or, worse, driving and eating), I do not "go eating." Of course, all this is perfectly obvious -- which is why Perl syntax is so easy :)
