I'm trying hard to get people to stop saying "script" when referring to their Perl programs. I'd prefer that we not use it anywhere at all.

The distinction between bin & script for installers is that bin stuff is architecture-dependent, and script stuff is architecture- independent. It's the same distinction between lib & arch. It should not be done away with for propagandistic purposes, some sysadmins use it & like it.
