Dear Bioconductors, I was wondering if anyone knows how to connect to perl from R for windows XP. I have already looked for an answer in the BioConductor archives. There were a couple of interesting e-mails but none of them were answering my question. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Shafagh

Searching the R-help archives would be a better place to look. If you are using the latest release, R 2.1.0, then you can read help on RSiteSearch. + seth

> Dear Bioconductors, > > I was wondering if anyone knows how to connect to perl from R for windows What do you mean by "connect to perl"? Are you referring specifically to the RSPerl package of Omegahat? If so, contact the author of that package. There are many ways to get software tools to interoperate, so "connect to perl" can have various interpretations. Installing RSPerl requires some configuration arrangements that may not be fully portable between windows and other OSs but I see on the RSPerl download page that it is running under MacOSX and I have installed it under RH9. So there is at least some portability established. If RSPerl is not relevant but you want to establish a pipeline in which R receives some output from perl or vice versa, that can be accomplished in a number of ways. You'll have to provide more details for specific guidance. > XP. I have already looked for an answer in the BioConductor > archives.
