I would like to have a perl script invoke a expect script and wait for compleation then a tcl script and wait for compleation. I have done this for perl scripts but I have had no luck with expect or tcl. The code I use for perl script is below. 
my $pid = "$pid$_";

do{

$pid = spawn 'perl Start.pl' or die "spawn: $!";
print "************ PID NUMBER IS: $pid Starting\n";
my $num_proc = @pids;
while ($num_proc) {
for ( my $i=0; $i< @pids; $i++) {
waitpid($pids[$i],0);
print " PID $pids[$i] has exited \n";
$num_proc --;
}
}    

} until waitpid($pids,0);
