[R] question about read.xls

2009-06-05 Thread jlfmssm
I am woking on Windows and using  read.xls to read Excel.xls file.
But it needs to install perl on my machine first, and then give the
following until it can work:

read.xls(file,sheet=i,perl=E:\\Perl\\bin\\bin\\perl.exe);

I am wondering if there is other way to read Excel.xls file without needing
do this?
