R CMD check with Matlab and perl?

Hi, All:
How might one test Matlab and perl code during "R CMD check"?
I ask for two reasons: First, the "fda" package exists in both R
and Matlab, and it would help if we could run test examples in Matlab as
part of "R CMD check". I tried "R.matlab", but could not get it to work
in that context.
Can you run the tests from the command line? If so, you should be able to call them from system() in a script in the tests directory, or in an example section of an Rd file. Duncan Murdoch
Second, I have professional colleagues who write code in Matlab
and perl, but have no unit or regression testing. If I could test
Matlab and perl from within "R CMD check" examples, I think I could get
them to use it, because it would produce more "trustworthy software"
[the "Prime Directive" of Chambers (2008) Software for Data Analysis
(Springer)] AND give them documentation at the same time -- while
simultaneously reducing the cost of producing and maintaining code to
given specifications.
Thanks,
Spencer
