TCL - Never!!!!
Worse than BASIC to me.
Last time I looks at AS Perl it felt like a hack. The GUI port felt like a bag on the side. Maybe I didn't give it enough time.
Python is probably worth a look. But if I was really learning a new OO language I'd want to do Ruby. Oh well.

Who says?
I downloaded it, installed, and have started reading the manual on my laptop.
That doesn't mean I'm going to give up what I have produced so far. It is deployable right now. And I am in the process of rewriting it in C# as we speak.
I consider the Ruby more of a long term thing for me to wrap my mind around. I'd have to fight for a non-MS solution right now. C# is an easy sell. So if I take a day to rewrite in C#, since the tools and functions map to the VB I just did, it is an immediate win.

Come on, TCL and BASIC are as far apart
as two procedural languages can be (ok, Fortran and Lisp are further apart, but you're not likely to use either, and Lisp is not procedural).
TCL has (almost) no syntax. That alone makes it worthy of respect. BASIC is all syntax. Bleech.

Lisp is not procedural??
Lisp can be used in as procedural a way as you want. Just use setq for assignment.
You don't have to use it that way. Many people don't. But you can.
