A package "CGIwithR" is now available at CRAN. It
is designed to allow R to be used as a CGI scripting
language on Unix-like systems (including Mac OS X with
the Darwin installation of R).
Why bother? Well, CGIwithR is provided in case there are others
like myself who either
(i) wish to provide a special-purpose calculator on the web
which uses R for its computation
or
(ii) wish to collect/process information via web forms,
but don't want to learn a new language such as Perl
A user manual is provided with the package (as well as the
standard R help pages).
CGIwithR has not been tested on systems other than my own,
so I would very much welcome reports on any successes or
failures with it.
If someone wants to port it to Windows...
