    The Tcl module allows one to start a Tcl interpreter within a perl program and execute Tcl code. Alternatively, one could simply execute a tcl program via a system function: 
    system "tclsh file.tcl";

    Sure there are a lot of ways ... 

    system ( "yourprog.tcl");

    ... or maybe something like this ... 

    open TCL, "|tcl" or die "cannot start tcl:$!\n";
print TCL <<CODE;
some tcl command
other tcl command
CODE
close TCL

    You might like these other solutions: Tcl which has a syntax like: 
        use Tcl;

    $interp = new Tcl;
    $interp->Eval('puts "Hello world"');

    or Inline::Tcl which has a more traditional Inline approach. In it, you define Tcl functions in your Perl program and call them as if they were pure Perl, like so: 
        use Inline Tcl => <<END
        ... your tcl function definitions here
    END
    my $answer = tcl_function(@args);
