ParTcl

A from scratch implementation of Tcl on Parrot.

To build the tcl interpreter, first build parrot. From the top level parrot directory:

perl Configure.pl && make

Then, type make in this directory. This will generate the file tcl.pbc which can then be used to run tcl programs.

../../parrot tcl.pbc foo.tcl

Interactive tclsh

To run ParTcl interactively, simply type:

make tclsh

in this directory.

Examples

To run an example, change to the examples, and type make for instructions. Running examples from here automatically handles cd'ing to the proper directory to run.

Test Suite

To run the test suite, type make test. Note - if any tests fail, try setting the environment variable TEST_PROG_ARGS to -G and retry.

If any tests fail (with -G or not), please email the perl6-internals list.
