I would much rather use perl then tcl.
Tcl as a language leaves me wanting more.
Especially after using lisp. Some say that
tcl should have been lisp, but that is another story.
After being spoiled by vtcl, I will never code tk in tcl
every again. And since perl's tk lib interface is bazaar
I do not think I will be coding tk by hand that way.
It would be cool to embed tcl in perl so one could
\source/ in the widgets and put a tcl wrapper around
callbacks ( ... -command [pl perl_sub( %w ...)] )
something like that. We would need a way to set up the
@_ array for perl subroutines, This is of course not
a vtcl problem. The other thing that would be cool is
the tcl sub in perl that works like this:
&tcl( 'bind window...entry <Return> "[pl search %W %y]"' );
where 'search' is a perl sub and 'pl' is tcl a wrapper that set
up a call from tcl to perl. And of course &tcl passes a string
to the tcl_interpreter. IMHO this would be less whacked out
then the tklib interface currently in perl.
Getting even more off subject.
The biggest thing I need in tcl is good data base access.
even access to gdbm would solve many problems. I once
wrote a ndbmwish program, but it did not work all that well
with perl scripts doing the back end processing.
Using perl would put an end to this problem. I would just
have to learn SQL, to get it all. :(
