BAM!

Here's a quickstart guide to get Rserve running:
$ R
> install.packages("Rserve")
> library(Rserve)
> Rserve()

Then run this from your cloned Net-Rserve git repo:
$ perl -Ilib t/Net/RserveTest.pm

And if the tests pass, try this:
$ perl -Ilib lib/Net/Rserve.pm

It will read R commands from STDIN and dump the resulting perl data structure.

$ RSERVE_VERBOSE=0 perl -Ilib lib/Net/Rserve.pm
list(str=R.version.string,foo=1:10,bar=1:5/2,logic=c(TRUE,FALSE,NA))
$result = {
          'bar' => [
                     '0.5',
                     '1',
                     '1.5',
                     '2',
                     '2.5'
                   ],
          'str' => 'R version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30)',
          'foo' => [
                     1,
                     2,
                     3,
                     4,
                     5,
                     6,
                     7,
                     8,
                     9,
                     10
                   ],
          'logic' => [
                       1,
                       0,
                       undef
                     ]
        }


It's a pretty faithful adaptation of the simple.php example we looked
at so it comes with the same limitations. For example, I noticed that
it doesn't like nested named lists.

$ RSERVE_VERBOSE=0 perl -Ilib lib/Net/Rserve.pm
list( l=list(foo=1:5), bar=1:5/2 )
Can't use string ("foo") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at
lib/Net/Rserve.pm line 211, <STDIN> line 1.

Not sure if this is by design or what. Here's the output from R:

> list( l=list(foo=1:5), bar=1:5/2 )
$l
$l$foo
[1] 1 2 3 4 5


$bar
[1] 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5


SO maybe the best solution is, don't do that? Hehe.
