Techically yes. But when some says "write a shell script" they usally mean the first line of the script will be ...

#!/bin/sh
[download]

... if some says write a korn shell script the first line is ...

#!/bin/ksh
[download]

... if some ask you to write a perl script then ...

#!/usr/bin/perl
[download]

does that help? Maybe you should search on #! or the phrase she-bang.
