TCL is a scripting anguge. The API stands for Automation Programing Interface. In other words, API is a TCL library with some TCL Procedures that will need to be called from inside a TCL script in order to automate a given Task. What I need to do is to call those Procedures/subroutines from within my perl scripts and capture the output and return codes in perl.
