drive externally a tcl interpreter

[Filippo]

Hello,

I have a simulation tool (cadence) with TCL interpreter embedded to
control the simulation. Is it possible to write a Perl script that
control the TCL interpreter? I want to write commands to tcl
interpreter in order to be able to control the simulation with an
external Perl program.

Thanks,

Filippo

I don't entirely understand what you want, but you may find the Expect
module on CPAN helpful. If not, you will have to tell us a little more
about how commands get fed to the TCL interpreter, and how any output
gets back out.
