Hi Florent,
I did some further testing before hitting send... I performed a force notest install Statistics::R and then went into the test directory to run the test manually. Results below.

Internal problem while running this R command:

Got the error:
'\d' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting "source('t\d"
Execution halted
Most likely, your R command contained lines exceeding 4076 bytes...
# Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not seen.
C:\Users\eclisob\.cpanm\work\1352216263.9508\Statistics-R-0.28\t>
=====================================================
I get the following output. Note the error regarding '\d' below. It doesn't seem to proceed after the point in which I grabbed the screen shot. I waited 5 minutes with no obvious change in state. Looking in Process Explorer I can see that there are several R command processor initialized as well as an R terminal. No CPU time is associated with them while I waited to see if anything else occurred in the cpan window.
I am using Strawberry Perl: perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.
R - two versions - the one in the path is R-2.13.0 as indicated in the output below.
IPC::Run is version 0.91, (0.92 is latest - upgrading didn't change the results below)
Text::Balanced is version is version 2.02 (latest)
Regexp::Common is version 2011121001 (latest)
Looking in to the code I see that it seems to be associated with passing the r script in to the module test. I tried the script itself and there are no obvious issues using it from the command line as `r --vanilla <script.R` => the output follows the cpan output.

If there is anything more I can do to help I would need a little direction as to what to test or change.

Subject: [rt.cpan.org #77761] Statistics::R fails on Windows Vista SP2
<URL:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=77761 >
Hi Cliff,
I cannot reproduce this bug on my machine. Since it seems to be system-dependent, I am not sure what the cause of the problem is, much less how to fix it.
Can you clarify: do the test always fails identically or is there some randomness to the failure?
Could you please download and install Statistics::R version 0.28 which I have just released?
If the tests fail again, please let me know what version of the following you have: R, IPC::Run, Text::Balanced and Regexp::Common.
Then, if you have older versions of the Perl modules (IPC::Run, Text::Balanced and Regexp::Common), please make sure to update to their latest versions and try to install Statistics::R again.
If this does not work, maybe try to upgrade your R to the latest version and see if this helps.
Thanks,
Florent
