It seems like you trying as hard as possible to not use any BackupPC- 
specific functionality. If you just want to do a plain rsync with the  
--delete switch, why don't you just do that? Seems like that would be  
a whole lot simpler than using BackupPC and trying to change it into a  
plain native rsync binary.

BackupPC keeps several complete backups. The number of backups that  
are kept around is configurable. Files will be deleted when they are  
not in any backups anymore, so there is no need to use --delete in the  
rsync arguments and AFAIK File::RsyncP indeed doesn't even support  
that switch.
