R help - May 2006 - Problem with Statistics::R Save plots

[This email is either empty or too large to be displayed at this time]

Hi all,

I've recently tried to use the perl module Statistics::R-0.02.
I'm using R v2.2.1 and Perl 5.8.7 on WinXP and Linux.
When I use the R GUI or Rterm I have no problem in plotting and saving 
all the graphics or data. For example:

/*pdf("file.pdf")
x <- c(1,3,-3,1,233,112,6,9,12)
boxplot(x)
dev.off()*/

However when I try to make the same through a perl script I get empty 
files!!! Initially I got an error message about dev.off() but fixed it 
by introducing the device number (in this case "2").
Does anyone knows what may be the problem?
The perl code I'm using:

/*use Statistics::R;

my $R = Statistics::R->new();
$R->startR ;
$R->send('pdf("file.pdf")');
$R->send('x <- c(1,3,-3,1,233,112,6,9,12)');
$R->send('boxplot(x)');
$R->send('dev.off(2)') ;
$R->stopR() ;* /


Thanks in adv

FG
