:::EDIT: And in Perl, it is possible to call functions before their declaration/definition (this would not have been possible if Perl scripts were interpreted).

::::Perl is not really compiled. Perl 6 (aka Raku) converts to Parrot bytecode, which is interpreted. Thus, Perl 6 (aka Raku) is bytecode interpreted, which is how Java and Python work, as well. Perl 5 supported an internal bytecode. Perl 4 and below generate a parse tree before interpreting. You can correct me if I am incorrect about perl; however, I do not think that I am.
::::Compilation is about code generation. If machine code is never generated, then the implementation is interpreted. If machine code is generated while the program is running, then the implementation is JIT compiled. If machine code is generated before the program is ran, then the implementation is AoT compiled.
::::Most interpreted languages can be implemented with a JIT compiler, for example, Javascript. However, AoT compilation and JIT compilation are very different.
