Invoking Perl from within TCL script

[Tommms]

Hello Everyone,

What is the best way to call a perl script from within a tcl script?

For example:

content of code1.tcl:

exec /Users/Mac/desktop/hello.pl

content of hello.pl:

print "hello";

When I invoke hello.pl from within code1.pl, I get an error message saying the command print cannot be found.

Thanks!

Tom

I don't do this very often but I think you should call the perl interpreter and pass the perl script (name) as an argument.
