Hi all,
I'm trying to use the RSPerl module in a script that uses threads. I am able to call R functions without a problem when I don't use threads. However, using threads, I get varying errors depending on how I call the R functions. If I call the R::initR function in the "boss" thread and then try to call R functions from a "worker" thread, I get the following error:
Error: C stack usage is too close to the limit
Caught error in R::call()
However, if I move the "use" declarations for R & RReferences to the worker thread, along with the initR call, I get this:
Fatal error: R home directory is not defined
I've attached some code for your reference. Is there any way to get this module working with Perl threads? Thanks in advance for your help.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
#use R;
#use RReferences;
#&R::initR("--silent");
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use Thread::Queue;
our $queue : shared = Thread::Queue->new;
our $hold : shared;
my $thr = threads->new (\&command_runner);
$hold =1;
$queue->enqueue("ls");
while ($hold) {
sleep(1);
}
$queue->enqueue("end");
$thr->join();
# Thread for processing functions
sub command_runner {
use R;
use RReferences;
&R::initR("--silent");
my $run = 1;
# run until return
while ($run) {
# This call will block until the main thread sends the job
my $job = $queue->dequeue;
print "j: $job\n";
if ($job eq "ls"){
R::ls();
} elsif ($job eq "end") {
$run = 0
}
{ lock $hold; $hold = 0; }
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>

<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
