+       The Tcl extension module gives access to the Tcl library
+       with functionality and interface similar to the C
+       functions of Tcl.  In other words, you can
+
+       create Tcl interpreters
+               The Tcl interpreters so created are Perl objects
+               whose destructors delete the interpreters cleanly
+               when appropriate.
+
+       execute Tcl code in an interpreter
+               The code can come from strings, files or Perl
+               filehandles.
+
+       bind in new Tcl procedures
+               The new procedures can be either C code (with
+               addresses presumably obtained using dl_open and
+               dl_find_symbol) or Perl subroutines (by name,
+               reference or as anonymous subs). The (optional)
+               deleteProc callback in the latter case is another
+               perl subroutine which is called when the command
+               is explicitly deleted by name or else when the
+               destructor for the interpreter object is
+               explicitly or implicitly called.
+
+       Manipulate the result field of a Tcl interpreter
+
+       Set and get values of variables in a Tcl interpreter
+
+       Tie perl variables to variables in a Tcl interpreter
+               The variables can be either scalars or hashes.
