I meant, "interactive shell", rather than "interactive script". Whilst there is a Perl shell (
psh), Perl is not usually used in this way.

Didn't DaWei recently make a post warning to be careful of providing incorrect information?
A programming language is, surprisingly enough, a language you program in. What method is used to execute the resulting code is irrelevant. C is a programming language, but so is Perl or Python. Scheme's a programming language can be compiled, or interpreted, depending on what software you use. The term "programming language" encompasses both scripting and compiled languages.
