Tcl has
tm commands for managing access to
tcl modules-
- ::tcl::tm::path add path ...
-
- ::tcl::tm::path remove path ...
-
- ::tcl::tm::path list
-
- ::tcl::tm::roots path ...
A list of directories (the "module path") is managed by the commands ::tcl::tm::path and ::tcl::tm::roots. For example, the current value of the module path is returned by the command [::tcl::tm::path list].
The command
package require searches the "module path" directories for modules, which are files named "*.tm". The name of the module file determines the name and version that are entered into the package database when module directories are scanned.

for a full discussion of module filename requirements, resolution of '::' in module names, and translation of '::' to directory separator characters.
