But, you are not calling interp.evalFile() you are just calling
interp.eval(). If you want to just run the source command you
could also call interp.eval("source file.tcl").

You can't pass "parameters" to something like "source foo.tcl".
What you can do is set variables before you source the file.
For example, if you set argv and argv0 to something before
evaling the file, it would be like running the file from
the command line.
