I am executing a Perl script that makes use of use Tcl;. This currently invokes tcl8.4.

When I check my lib path, tcl8.5 is also found. I want use Tcl; to use tcl8.5 instead of tcl8.4. Can any one help me please?

From looking at the distro's Makefile.PL, I believe it uses a tclshX.Y found when the module is installed.

If a newer version 8.5 of Tcl has been installed since you installed the module, you could try to reinstall the module.

wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/V/VK/VKON/Tcl-1.27.tar.gz
tar xvzf Tcl-1.27.tar.gz
cd Tcl-1.27
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install

If that isn't sufficient, this module's Makefile.PL accepts arguments that help locate the correct tclsh. As mentioned in the distro's README file, you can see the accepted options using the following:

perl Makefile.PL --help

  • 1) That's still trying to use 8.4. 2) This would be a different problem that should get a new question. I don't know the answer. – ikegami Nov 22 '19 at 17:17
