NAME

Statistics::RserveClient - An Rserve Client library for the R statistics platform.

SYNOPSIS

  use Statistics::RserveClient;

  my $cnx = new Statistics::RserveClient::Connection($server);
  my @result = $cnx->evalString("x='Hello, world!'; x");

DESCRIPTION

Rserve provides a network server interface to the R statistical platform. The Statistics::RserveClient package provides a Perl client library to enable interaction with Rserve from within Perl applications.

Using RserveClient, your Perl application can pass strings to Rserve for evaluation by R. The results are returned as Perl objects.

USAGE

  use Statistics::RserveClient::Connection;

  my $cnx = new Statistics::RserveClient::Connection($server);
  my @result = $cnx->evalString("x='Hello, world!'; x");

BUGS

This library does not yet support the full rserve protocol. For example, long packets are not supported.
