Sorry for the late reply. I was out of town for a few days. Apologies
for the crossposting.

Hmm, the issue with the "missing" stats package could stem from multiple
build problems. I see that some say it could have to do with having
multiple architectures or multiple versions of shared libraries, but
I'll need to try to reproduce it. I'm going to try to build my own R in
a VM and see if it can be fixed. I've been working on making the build
more robust: so far I have made Statistics::NiceR build on Windows under
Strawberry Perl with the default R + Rtools installers. Hopefully what I
learned from that can help me figure this out.

You can get data frames and factors using just the code in Data::Frame,
but I'm still working on the documentation and the API. I'm trying to
get the best ideas out of different tools and providing comfortable
interfaces. Let me know how you would like to use the data structures
and what functions are missing and I'll implement them (e.g., I just
wrote some head()/tail() functions for data frames that'll I'll release
tonight.).

Cheers,
