R help - Mar 2010 - Calling R from Perl

Hi all,

I am interested to know that how it is possible to call R from Perl. I would
like to read the file in Perl, store it in a data structure and would like
to pass the data structure to R so that I can do the mathematical operations
easily.

Thanks.

One way to do this is with Rscript.  If you want Perl because it can
handle cgi, then CGIwithR is also useful.  You can call Rscript from
Perl, but you can also do the reverse (with "system()") and have your
Rscript be the main routine.
