The Perl folks have stripped the Tk API away from Tcl with the Perl-Tk 
GUI package: the result is no embedded Tcl interpreter, but it's also 
hard to maintain. In fact, Perl-Tk has never been updated to run 
natively on the Mac because of this. There are other Perl/Tk bindings 
that do integrate the Tcl interpreter, and it makes it much easier for 
the Perl/Tk bindings to evolve as Tk itself evolves.
