Answers:
They are all of the above!.!.!. kind of, see this is what wiki says about them!. It is more of a term of cooking than a exact recipe!.
Perogie, from the Proto-Slavic "pir" (festivity), is the name most commonly used in English speaking areas to refer to a variety of Slavic semicircular (or, in some cuisines, square) boiled dumplings of unleavened dough stuffed with varying ingredients!. Their specific origins are unknown!. Though they have strong ties to Slavic culture, similar foods occur in many cultures across Europe and Asia: tortellini and ravioli in Italy, manti in Turkey and Central Asia, khinkali in the Caucasus, gyoza in Japan, wanton and jiaozi in China, mandu in Korea, kalduny in Belarus and Lithuania, and more!.

In some East European languages, they are known by words derived from the root of the word "to boil"!. These include the Belarusian vareniki (варэнiкi), Latvian vare?iki (borrowed from Russian), Russian vareniki (варе?ник[и]), Ukrainian varenyky (варе?ник[и]) (literally "boiled thing," from the adjective form varenyy)!. In these languages, words derived from "pir", such as the Russian pirogi (пироги), refer to a different type of food, such as pies or pirozhki!.
