I don't know Perl or Tcl. I always try to get things going in Bash shell scripts, and if that does not work I use Python. Python is screamingly fast (did you know that Walt Disney studios switched to Python for generating their cartoon movies because of the speed?). I once wrote a Python program that interacts with a MySQL database and uses TKInter/Tcl as a graphical interface to users, and that is very fast. I never looked at memory efficiency, but so far I have not found any drawbacks. At my work we are now using Python to run equipment interfaces in a semiconductor factory for some mission critical operations. I think that accounts for something.
