I don't know much about Perl and Tcl, but Python actually handles Windows
specific API's very well and this makes it an excellent choice for
many applications. You can write services, automation servers and other
Windows stuff in Python which from the users perspective will taste and
smell exactly like it was written in C++.
As a small example you can use the COM integration to print the available
folders with the following code:
import win32com.client
object = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
ns = object.GetNamespace("MAPI")
for f in ns.Folders: print f
As a more elaborate proof of concept you can take a look at SpamBayes which
is a spam filter integrated in Outlook which is written in Python.

For more information about Python take a look at http://www.python.org/.
