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.
make
tcl.pbc
Note - due to a bug in the current parrot implementation, you must be in the root development directory.
./parrot languages/tcl/tcl.pbc foo.tcl
To run ParTcl interactively, simply type:
make tclsh
in this directory.
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.

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.
make test
TEST_PROG_ARGS
-G
If the tests now pass, there's a GC bug that needs to be reported to the perl6-internals list.
