R help - Dec 2005 - Statistics-R module for Perl

Hello!

I interest of using Perl for application of biostatistcs with R. I find your
module on the cpan's site. But, I've a question:
Could I use it with Mac OS X? Because I have this error:
"Error: no suitable installation target found for package
Statistics-R."
If it's not possible with this script, how can I modify it ?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Statistics-R works on Mac OS X.  I have used it some.

How did you try to install it?  It isn't a package for R--it is a perl
module, so you need to install it using perl tools.

What did you do to install it, what code have you tried, and when do you get
the error message?

I don't use ActiveState (ppm)--are you sure that statistics::R is available
from ActiveState for MacOS?  I use CPAN instead.

However, you just need to get the tarfile from CPAN.  Unzip and untar it.
Then go into the top-level directory and type:

 perl Makefile.PL

Then type:

 sudo make install

That's it.
