Not getting any hits searching for "Tcl" here, I probably already have my answer, but it couldn't hurt to ask, right? :)

I know that some webhosts support running Tcl scripts. Does bluehost? If so, how can I get mine to run?

Many thanks...

You would add this as a MIME Type in the cPanel

.tcl text/x-script.tcl

Here is a tutorial on how that is done.

Hmmm... That seems to make the script run in someone's browser. I'm trying to run the script on the host (hopefully as a cron job).

Actually, I found what I was looking for. The command line simply needs to be "tclsh /path/scriptname.tcl" Seems to work like a charm...

Thanks for your response!
