A call for opinion, or a pseudo poll.

Consider someone at the command line, needs some information, decides to:

me@server $  for S in `cat list_of_servers`;do echo "  $S"; ssh $S

In your mind is that scripting?

In my mind, I've always differentiated between one-liners (regardless of complexity) and scripting, though I'll admit the distinction is blurry.

The related question is somewhat obvious. Is this programming?

  perl -e 'foreach $num (1 .. 20) {print "x" x $num, "\n";}'
