I have written some of my statistic modules in R. It is very fast to produce whole set of graphs i need.

Now I like to call the R script from perl.

what i did is :to invoke R from perl 

system("R");

[download]
after which i need to run the R script file called "commands.R" from the R prompt. the command from R prompt is 

 
source("commands.R")

[download]
does anyone have an idea of how i should call this from my perl program to run in R prompt so that i can completely automate this call.

i tried with 

system("source(\"commands.R\"));

[download]
but this will not work for it will run this from command prompt, not from R prompt.
