Whats this about “Perforce shall retain the copyright to all enhancements to the Software”? Does that mean that if I write a script that uses Perforce client commands, Perforce owns it?

No, it doesn’t mean that. Because the word “Software” is capitalized, it refers to the definition of that term in the “Definitions” section of the EULA. “Software” means the combination of the “Program” and the “Documentation,” two more defined terms, and “Program” means only machine-readable object code. Since your script isn’t an enhancement to machine-readable object code, it isn’t an “enhancement to the Software,” even if it might be considered an enhancement to the software.
