Regarding Perl, the batchfiles distribution batch files do not use Perl but R's own Rcmd.exe does. Based on comments recently I understand that Perl will be eliminated from the R batch scripts soon but in the meantime if you install Rtools (which is a set of tools that includes perl and is simple to install via its GUI installer similar to R's) from
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ then Rcmd.bat will automatically detect it so you don't have to set a path to Perl.
