R help - Jul 2009 - pass an array from a perl script to a R script

Hi, All,

Many thanks for letting me know there is no references and dereferencing in R,
but I saw a library called (ref) on cran, but when I use library(ref), I was
told there is no such library in R.

So if I can not passing an array from  a perl script to a R script by its
reference, how to pass it by argument?

Thanks!

Xin

An error from that function may indicate that you have not yet  
installed the package on you machine. I do see that it is available on  
CRAN

Whether it provides that facility, I cannot tell you. The  
documentation for the ref function in the ref package indicates that  
the package is old and not well thought of and  suggests alternatives.  
Have you looked at?
