Well, before I answer that, define, if you would, the difference
between "programming" and "scripting". (Warning: I don't think there's
much of one, if any.)
In my mind, your earlier question was a "programming" question, in
that it could be effectively answered without "scripting" anything --
no other apps were being driven by the Perl that I and others
wrote. The fact that the code was in Perl doesn't make it
"scripting".
YMMV.
