Apple's osascript UNIX tool allows for short bursts of AppleScript.
Python and perl can both prepare scripts as text and ask the kernel
to execute them.
This a something of a red herring. Both Python and Perl can indeed do
that and both also have other ways of doing it, using, in the case of
Perl for example, Mac::Carbon, without using AppleScript, but these
other ways are not easy to learn and have a long lead time while the
modules are loaded. Besides that these scripts have to be run from
outside BBEdit and not from the palettes or the script menus within
BBEdit.

Moving the cursor is one thing, which can't be done from within
BBEdit; setting the selection is another, which can.
Replacing content 'at a certain spot' will happen if you select the
certain spot before running the UNIX Perl or Python script or filter.
The question is not at all clear.
