Agree completely, that's the case in a nutshell.

That's a different issue - whether you chose to write a script or a
program, is all about intended use, speed of development, expected
lifetime, maintainability, ease of development etc etc.  If the OPs
script was only meant to run once or twice a year, it probably wouldn't
matter if it ran or month or two. 

Personally, I rewrite in C when my PHP (or other script language) script
exceeds a thousand lines.
