Thanks Carlo but I wanted to run Tcl scripts without the usage of Tk.

Am planning to store and retreive Tcl data from Ruby database

------------------------------------
require 'tcltklib'
require 'tkutil'

interp = TclTkIp.new(nil, nil)
ret = interp._eval("source hoge.tcl")
ret = interp._invoke("source", "hoge.tcl")
ret = interp._invoke('lsort', TkUtil._get_eval_string([3,1,2]))
p interp._split_tklist(ret)
