Actually, quite a few folks use Tcl without Tk for a variety of tasks - CGI, 
sysadmin, database monitoring, software testing, space flight control 
software, factory control automation, to name a few.  Take a look at papers 
from the past Tcl Workshops, or try searching around the web.

However, I'd speculate that Tcl gets used very little for any purpose 
at the perl.com domain :)
