Re: Buggy CPAN Module (Statistics::R)by PodMaster (Abbot) |

I have done some debugging and for me its the send method that hangs ( Statistics::R::Bridge::pipe),
in particular this loop
Its because $n/$data don't match ($n ends up being 1, but $data contains a high number, the last number written to process.log). $n/$data are populated by read_processR, which reads process.log, which is written to by rterm.exe, as per instructions in start.r (PERLOUTPUTFILE), which is written from sub Statistics::R::Bridge::pipe::save_file_startR. What happens is that at the beginning of send, where $n is set, read_processR reads data ending with "/", so $n defaults to 1. mokleva was right, it is some kind of race condition. Whether its rterm that misbehaves, or start.r or Statistics::R that make an assumption ... I don't know. Thats as far as I'm willing to go, but it should be enough information for someone familiar with rterm/statistics-r to fix it. BTW, my enviroment is perl v5.8.4 ActivePerl Build 810, R 2.2.1, WinXP Home.
