What are some of the primary differences between Tcl/Tk and Perl/Tk?
Considering that both interpreters/(compiler) for Tcl and Perl were written in C for original use on Unix computers it is not surprising that there are some similarities between the two languages. Nevertheless, there are a large number of differences between the Tcl language and the Perl language. One thing to keep in mind is that to build, install, and use Perl/Tk one does not need to have Tcl/Tk on hand at all. Perl/Tk is completely independent of Tcl/Tk.
