No gui programming. I think it's used more for logic than anything else. Not really for string manipulation. It's hard to explain because the program is so huge, no one person really knows everything about it. It seems to be more for extending the programs functionality so that we don't have to constantly recompile, so I guess to answer your question, I would have to say a little bit of everything. Sorry to be so broad, but I don't know how to explain it any other way.

Subject: perl vs tcl?
I'm trying to argue my somewhat biased opinion that perl is better than tcl. I want to embed perl in a c program we use because of it's speed and object oriented nature. They want to use tcl because they don't know perl and are comfortable with tcl. I'm not as familiar with tcl as I am with perl, so I'm not able to argue my point very well, so we have a 'tastes great...less filling' argument going. Any experts out there that actually know why perl is/isn't better than tcl?
