See either the GNU General Public License or the Artistic License for more details. 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. Build in the usual way for a perl extension: 1. Tweak Makefile.PL is necessary only if your Tcl include files could not be found automatically by Makefile.PL script. Normally you just make sure you have right tcl in your path at a moment of running Makefile.PL script. 2. perl Makefile.PL make 3. Before installing, you can run the small test suite with make test if you wish. 4. make install In rare case when you do cross-compiling for WinCE, you need to edit and use ceMakefile.PL Malcolm Beattie mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk Vadim Konovalov vkonovalov@peterstar.ru
