perl or tcl, which is better for eda scripting

[suituse]

Both of these two languange are popular in scripting, which one is more useful in
ic design scripting? Can you give your idea?

 

[dolby.yang]

all the eda tools support tcl mode.

 

[justin999]

perl is superior on text process,many tools can run scripts in tcl directly,

tcl first, then perl. maybe...

 

[visualart]

The tcl is the best, and the Perl is excellent, too.
The script generally is writed by tcl , and the cadence PLI use the Perl.

 

[yesme@]

For me, tcl is better !

 

[kermit]

For me:
1,use tcl scripts to write synthesis script.
2,use perl to analysis the simulation result and synthesis log file.

And also I use shell script to write simulation task list.

I think for our ASIC designers ,we just use them very simply.

use tcl in front-end
use perl in back-end

 

[au_sun]

Tcl are used in the within the tools,
perl is used to automate the design flow, that uses these tools,
both are required in a design flow,

 

[realtek]

tcl!
just my opinion!!

 

[amaccormack]

TCl is more verbose, in general, and so a quick script to convert some data format to another is generally quicker in perl. But tools generally support TCL for their internal scripts so best to know both to some extent.

 

[eeeraghu]

As most tools support TCL scripts, and Perl is used to decode some data from large enough file and automatic creation of files, both are necessary.

tcl is popular than perl

 

[amaccormack]

tcl is popular than perl

More or less popular?

I think that perl is more popular, given that it is the basis for PHP used in web sites worldwide...

Tcl is used with the Tk to provide GUIs and thus is opular for that application, but there is perl/tk too

 

[eda4you]

Tcl doesn't replace Perl and conversely. Both script languages have their applications.

 

[lufeng21cn]

I think these two languages is important,because of their property.
