Fairly so, yes. But the concepts of a "scripting language" (i.e., the
primary data structure being a hashtable, the idea that "evaluating a
definition" is pretty much what creates code rather than strictly
compilation, the baroque scoping rules, etc) is what's more important than
the fact that (for example) regex is a literal in Perl and not in the others.

Errr, Perl has something to do with FORTH? You'll have to clarify that one,
because, like, it really doesn't, as far as I can tell.
