William Revelle also mentioned the r.test in the psych package.
I would add here that inference on second-order quantities, such as
correlation coefficients and variances, is not robust to the assumption
of a normally-distributed population. (Inference on first-order
quantities such as means and regression coefficients, IS pretty robust
to that assumption.) A good general alternative is the bootstrap,
implemented in R in the boot package.
