With tcl/tk 8.5 / 8.4.14++ comes the new 
  Teapot  (Tcl Extension Archive)
that supports retrieving extensions
as part of the programm.
 
see
  http://wiki.tcl.tk/7579

The "single file" build and distribution
helpers like tclkit, starkit and relatives
have become popular too.
They leverage the tcl VFS capabilities.
the linux tclfuse package can even make 
the internal VFS visible to the underlying OS. 
 
Anyway, You may find the Tclers Wiki
  http://wiki.tcl.tk

very helpfull. Be it Info on packages
small snippets of code or involved
discussion on programming philosophy.

G!

CPAN, Tcl/Tk

Yes, I know all about Tcl/Tk's extensions.  The problem is that the sheer wealth of resources
on CPAN makes Perl very attractive.  There are far more CPAN modules than Tcl/Tk extensions.
Granted, you have to pick and choose carefully because CPAN's quality is uneven, but you can
usually find a module (or three or more...) that does what you need.
