Maybe we just need a progn type function (I'm thinking Lisp here):
self.hi_there.configure(command=progn:(counter=couter+1,print "Hi There!"))

Where the syntax would be along the lines of progn <parameter-tuple> :
<command-tuple>
Or even progn(command-sequence) and be called inside a lambda.

That's pretty much it.
More completely:
$hi_there->configure(-command => sub { print "hi there, everyone!\n" });
