[Bioperl-l] data into R from Perl arrays

[Florent Angly]

To execute R commands from Perl, you can also try Statistics::R 
(http://search.cpan.org/~fangly/Statistics-R-0.27/lib/Statistics/R.pm 
<http://search.cpan.org/%7Efangly/Statistics-R-0.27/lib/Statistics/R.pm>), 
which has been around for longer, and which I have recently refactored.
Regards,
Florent
