[R] Can't install RSPERL under windows

[adiamond]

I know that I'm a fool for trying to get this working under windows but I'm
obliged.  Note I have R 2.6.1 and the latest cygwin.  I'm running winxp sp2.

1) If I issue: R CMD INSTALL  RSPerl_0.92-1.tar.gz, it fails as such

2) If I try using the with-in-perl arg install complains that
--configure-args is not a valid arg.  My understanding is that it isn't
valid in windows R but I don't know what to do about it.

R CMD INSTALL  --configure-args='--with-in-perl' RSPerl_0.92-1.tar.gz
--configure-args='--with-in-perl' RSPerl_0.92-1.tar.gz
Unknown option: configure-args
Usage: R CMD INSTALL [options] pkgs
