Tk can be un-bundled from TCL, can't it?
With PerlTK, is that still a reason to choose TCL?
My point about AOLServer is that the tight integration between webserver,
interpreted language and RDBMS is very compelling. It did get Philip
Greenspun two book deals after all. :-)
I haven't heard about anything as tightly integrated using Apache, or
apache/mod_perl (although I'd like to...).
