[PLUG] Is this scripting?

[Joe Shisei Niski]

What's the broader context for the questions (both scripting and
programming)? Out of context, i'd agree that the examples are indeed
scripting and programming. If you were applying for a job that required
scripting and Perl programming, the examples would merely be the start of a
conversation.
