scriptlet

Specific-purpose script, usually written in a fit of inspiration in Perl or other powerful scripting language to solve one problem quickly and to largish extent (if not completely).

These have funny tendencies to either a) stay like they are, doing whatever they were supposed to do, for a long time (see my first Perl programs for some examples), or b) evolve into more general-purpose and more broadly usable scripts.
