    This package provides a bidirectional interface for calling R from Per
    +l and Perl from R. This embeds one interpreter (e.g. R) within the pr
    +ocess of the other interpreter (e.g. Perl). One can call routines and
    + functions in the other language as if they were part of the local en
    +vironment. This avoids having to program in a different language whil
    +e making the functionality in the other system transparently availabl
    +e with no additional coding. Values computed in one call are availabl
    +e to future calls. This makes Perl more interactive, also allows the 
    +R/Splus programmer to use convenient and familiar syntax to mix compu
    +tations in the two different sytems, and provide statistical function
    +ality to Perl applications..
