    The same error also occurs if I do

         % load /opt/tcl9.0.0/lib/tcltls1.7.23/tcltls.so Tls

    so I assume a problem in the .so file. I've had a quick look through the sources, but I have no confidence that I can find the appropriate change.

    Please can someone help?

    Maybe I should have more confidence...

    I changed line 1809 of tls.c from

        Tcl_InitStubs(interp, "Tcl", "8.4", 0)

    to

        Tcl_InitStubs(interp, "Tcl", "8.4", 0) || Tcl_InitStubs(interp, "Tcl", "9", 0)

    and the package now loads ok. Once I've ploughed through several more porting issues in my own code, I'll have an idea of whether the modified tls works.

    As long as I was testing with Tcl9 beta versions, the "8.4" in Tcl_InitStubs or Tk_InitStubs worked.
    Since using official Tcl9 this does not work anymore, so I switched to use "8.4-" as is done with "package require" calls.

    I forgot to update the preview page with the changed packages.
    Will do today or tomorrow.

    Updated relevant packages at the BAWT preview page.
    Note, that version 1.7.23 is based upon 1.7.22, which is 4 years old.
    You might also check the current trunk of tcltls at https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcltls

    The work is being done in the tls-1.8 branch. If you don't want to mess
    with fossil, you can download a snapshot from

    https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcltls/download?r=tls-1.8

    Note that it needs a version of OpenSSL newer than 1.X
