What is the easiest or most common way to link a perl script to a tcl/
tk user interface? I have a perl script that should take a huuuuge
list of long length text arguments. The first thing came to my mind is
using: "exec script.pl arg1 arg2..... argn" but this is going to be
awkward when dealing with very long list of long length args. Any
other idea to define the variables in ENV variables with in the tk
script before invoking the perl script?
thanks,

From Perl to Tcl:
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Tcl-Tk
http://search.cpan.org/~vkon/TclTk-0.75/Tk.pm

From Tcl to Perl:

When you do dive into this, please
update the perl related wiki page (broken links):

There are several ways to combine at the C level (see also Tkx in
addition to Arndt's list), but for simplicity, it might be easiest to
do open| from Tcl and pass the args on stdin.

I have tried the tclperl way, but for about a year now I have trouble
compiling the extension for windows using the latest VC++. I am sure
that there is something wrong in the compiler configuration, but the
compiled binary does not work well for recent perl versions.
So, I haven't been able to provide windows binaries as I used to provide.
