TCL is a competitor to Perl? In what way? TCL lists itself as a language for issuing commands to other applications and as a library of commands...where as Perl is (was) designed for manipulating text strings. Now I will not argue that Perl and TCL have overlapping areas now, but they are not intended for the same purpose or mission (even if some are using it that way). Lost Hobbit
