David,

This is a splendid thing: thank you very much.  A third ranking that I would
consider very interesting, and I guess others too, would be a CPAN top 10 with
any modules in the current stable perl (5.8.2?) exlcuded: So File::Spec, Data::Dumper, 
Storable I think, Test::Harness removed.

New Perl module Statistics::R

[Graciliano M. P.]

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.
