You could call R in BATCH mode from the perl script using one of the system interface operators, e.g., "system", or use the 'Shell' module. I have also bumped (but didn't try yet) into R-Perl interface called RSPerl which might be much more than you what you need. I think it is under the "Omega" link in the R website. If not google for RSPerl. 'R --help' will give you pointers to running R in BATCH mode.
