I'd like to do the opposite. That is to call Perl from an R script.
I wonder whether this is possible at all ???
What about Bioperl which is a Perl variation built to deal with
Bioinformatic datasets ?
Thank you,

You would typically use the system() function to do this. See ?system
for more information.
If you want to see a specific example, which includes passing
arguments to the Perl script, you can look at the R and Perl code in
the WriteXLS package on CRAN.
