Perl uses the @INC array as a search path to find modules, and appends .pm to 
the name requested in a use or require statement.   'use lib '/path'; will push 
a new path on the @INC array.  So, use locate or find to see where the 
File/Rsyncp.pm module lives on your system and add an appropriate 'use lib' 
somewhere in the code before the 'use'.   But, this is an odd situation. 
Normally packaged installs would land in the right place and CPAN installs 
figure it out at install time.
