[9fans] I suppose if there's no other way to do it (a quote from the tcl web site)

[Ronald G Minnich]

"Sure, some other languages have libraries for accessing web or ftp 
sites, or looking inside zip files. But how many provide an open ended 
and extensible system that allows you to access any such resource using 
the same I/O commands you'd use with regular disk files?"

hmm. in the language library? Well, I guess if that's all you can do ... 
but this is a really odd quote.

And I actually like tcl ...
