+Description: Control the R interpreter with perl
+ Statistics::R is a module to controls the R interpreter (R project
+ for statistical computing: http://www.r-project.org/). It lets you
+ start R, pass commands to it and retrieve the output. A shared mode
+ allow to have several instances of Statistics::R talk to the same R
+ process.
+ .
+ The current Statistics::R implementation uses pipes (for stdin,
+ stdout and stderr) to communicate with R. This implementation should
+ be more efficient and reliable than that in previous version, which
+ relied on reading and writing files.
