If I don't use mod_perl the script BackupPC_Admin it don't start, only
displayed into the browser windows.

Now with mod_perl I changed $Conf{BackupPCUser} to www-data (Apache
user) it start but sometime I loose the permission as admin user or
sometime I got:

This script needs to run as the user specified in $Conf{BackupPCUser},
which is set to root.

My previous config 2.1.2 running since 4 years don't work anymore with
the 3.1.0.

I prefer suppress security features, perhaps make it running as root but
make it WORKING !

Please I have to backup my machine PLEASE.

Please give me a patch or a way to make BpPC working on Debian, Apache2,
and mod_perl (it don't work without).

Please HELP !

Sam.
