Subject: [R] New Perl module Statistics::R

I have released the new module Statistics::R and need some feedback of it's
status.
This will permit the control of the the R (R-project) interpreter through
Perl in different architectures and OS.

You can for example, start only one instance of the R interpreter and have
different Perl process accessing it. What will save the initiation time of R
and memory.

Soo, I will appreciate if some one can test it in different OS. Tested with
Win32 and Linux.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Graciliano M. P.
