NAME Tcl extension module for Perl5 DESCRIPTION The Tcl extension provides a small but complete interface into libtcl and any other Tcl-based library. It lets you create Tcl interpreters (as perl5 objects), bind in commands to them (either perl subroutines or C functions dynamically loaded with the DynaLoader extension) and execute Tcl code in those interpreters. There is a Tcl::Tk extension (not to be confused with "native" perl5 Perl/Tk extension) distributed separately which provides a raw but complete interface to the whole of libtk via this Tcl extension. Using "tcl stubs", module could be built even without tcl-dev package installed on system. Still, tcl (or tcl/tk) must be installed during module build. --nousestubs also supported. Tcl versions 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 and above are supported. Build in the usual way for a perl extension: 1. Do not tweak Makefile.PL, rather - specify parameters to Makefile.PL. Use --help option to find out supported parameters to Makefile.PL: perl Makefile.PL --help Usualy, you do not need any parameters, default ones should be fine. 2. perl Makefile.PL make make test make install See License, Authors sections in Tcl.pm, or with 'perldoc Tcl' - once it is installed - to have acknowledged on this type of information.
