Erm, I think you're reading the tcl seek man page.
Definitely not bash, whatever else it may be.

Certainly, if you feel more comfortable with tcl than perl, go ahead.
One caveat, tcl cannot execute option specified commands, so you'll have
to place the scriptlet in file and execute it.  The other option is to
pipe the command to its stdin, but that defeats the purpose, in this case.
BTW, the tcl standard channel is 'stdin'.

Also, thanks for sending an extra copy of your message to me personally, but I
only need one, honest ;)
