Well, you may get lucky and get a reply here, but per the posting guide linked below, which you are **supposed to** read and follow **before** posting:
"For questions about functions in standard packages distributed with R (see the FAQ Add-on packages in R <http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Add-on-packages-in-R>), ask questions on R-help. If the question relates to a *contributed package* , e.g., one downloaded from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first. You can also use find("functionname") and packageDescription("packagename") to find this information. *Only* send such questions to R-help or R-devel if you get no reply or need further assistance. This applies to both requests for help and to bug reports." So did you first attempt to contact said maintainer? If so, please tell us with what results. You also probably should tell us what package plm comes from (several contain this function) -- though I suspect only congniscenti who use the package could help you anyway, and they would know this already.
