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.
Using "tcl stubs", module could be built even without tcl-dev package
installed on system. Still, tcl (or tcl/tk) must be installed during
module build. --nousestubs also supported. Tcl versions 8.4, 8.5, 8.6
and above are supported.
Build in the usual way for a perl extension:
1. Do not tweak Makefile.PL, rather - specify parameters to Makefile.PL.
Use --help option to find out supported parameters to Makefile.PL:
perl Makefile.PL --help
Usualy, you do not need any parameters, default ones should be fine.
2. perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

is installed - to have acknowledged on this type of information.
