The online resource that Kanji mentioned is good, and the other book that has been mentioned before seems to be a good book when I'd looked at it in bookstores, but when I had to pick up TCL I was a poor college student (well, I am again now :P ) and so I picked up a quick Sams book:

Sams Teach Yourself Tcl/Tk in 24 Hours.
This book was a good quick resource for TCL - didn't dive into the language in nearly the depth that I'm sure other books do, but it was a handy desktop reference.

Before I really got into Perl, I was writing CGI in TCL for this company that I worked for, and I was Required to use TCL, even though I'd heard 'good things' about Perl. Once I knew a bit of Perl, it was easy to convert everything I'd done over into Perl - wasn't exactly a copy-and-paste, but most things came over pretty easily, and Perl regexes and modules made parsing through my CSV file a lot handier than a nasty nasty TCL regex.
