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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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