I want to invoke some script written in perl/python, how to do that in squeak ?
There are add-on packages that will let you do this. In your Squeak image, use either a SqueakMap browser or a Universes browser, and look for the packages FFI, CommandShell, and OSProcess.
FFI is the Foreign Function Interface, which includes the class Win32Shell that may help if you are using Windows.
If you are using Linux, Unix, or Mac OS X, then OSProcess with CommandShell will give you access to external programs like perl and python. In the CommandShell package, look at PipeableOSProcess class>>tkExample for an example of controlling a tk/tcl script program from Squeak.
