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".
