Replying to myself here... and cpan not span :)

The module in question is version 0.2 and has been "released" since
2006 and has never passed its tests on linux as far as cpantesters
reports. That being the case, Is it really a good idea for BackuPC to
rely on this module?

It showed it past its tests in version 0.1 but I've been unable to
locate an archive of it.

Thanks,
Richard
