Hello Michael,

I agree the hack that I suggested is not the *Best Practice*, but it worked
like a charm for me and I am using it in same way for several pipelines that
requires R as a component for calculation alone - in such situations, I must
say that its clean and extremely efficient.  I thought of sharing it  with
Dutta,  if he may need something like a quick hack, I spend several days to
get my RSPerl up an running, but it didn't worked on my CentOS. But this one
was as quick as writing a Perl script.

Cheers,
