I came across the inline package for allowing TCL commands to be executed from within Perl. Release note/readme seems to indicate that the Linux is the only one supported/working. Are there plans to allow this to work on other platforms such as Solaris or Windows OS ? or maybe it is already working... I have downloaded and install the inline-tcl, but how do i check that the inline-tcl is correclty installed ? C:\>perl p1.pl Error. You have specified 'Tcl' as an Inline programming language. I currently only know about the following languages: C, Foo, foo If you have installed a support module for this language, try deleting the config file from the following Inline DIRECTORY, and run again: C:/_Inline BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at p1.pl line 8. C:\> ========== C:\>more p1.pl use Inline Tcl => <<END; proc test1 { val1 } { for {set j 1 } { $j <= $val1 } { incr j } { puts $j } } END print "this is a test \n\n" ; $result == test1(10) ;
