The Tcl extension module gives access to the Tcl library with functionality and
interface similar to the C functions of Tcl. In other words, you can:
- Create Tcl interpreters
The Tcl interpreters so created are Perl objects whose destructors delete the
interpreters cleanly when appropriate.
- Execute Tcl code in an interpreter
The code can come from strings, files or Perl filehandles.
- Bind in new Tcl procedures
The new procedures can be either C code (with addresses presumably obtained
using dl_open and dl_find_symbol) or Perl subroutines (by name, reference or
as anonymous subs). The (optional) deleteProc callback in the latter case is
another perl subroutine which is called when the command is explicitly
deleted by name or else when the destructor for the interpreter object is
explicitly or implicitly called.
- Manipulate the result field of a Tcl interpreter
- Set and get values of variables in a Tcl interpreter
- Tie perl variables to variables in a Tcl interpreter
The variables can be either scalars or hashes.
