Taking a quick gander at RServe — interesting. I think that some of the magic RSPerl is doing in munging R data types into Perl constructs is the tricky part of the exercise. While I like the close binding to R itself that RSPerl uses, going through an intermediary like RServe might prove easier in that regard. At least, given the java examples, the casts of the data values are more explicit.
It's worth considering; the protocol doesn't look terribly onerous. Thinking about it... just for giggles... RServe could probably facilitate a user-space filesystem representation of an R environment via the FUSE (or MacFUSE) projects. Not that it would useful, but I'm sure there's a student project in it somewhere :) Cheers, DMK >>> Stefan Evert <stefan.ev...@uos.de> 07/05/2009 7:27 pm >>> With all the problems that RSPerl has -- and they're mostly related to using R from Perl AFAIK -- I'm wondering if it wouldn't make for people like us to develop a Perl client for the Rserve protocol (see http://www.rforge.net/Rserve/) .
