To backup *all* hosts try:
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_copyPCPool.pl -o original.tar 

To backup *selected* hosts try:
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_copyPCPool.pl -o original.tar host1 host2 ...

To backup *selected* shares or subdirectories of shares try:
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_copyPCPool.pl -o original.tar 
host1/shareA/dir/dir host2/shareB/dir/dir ...

I will try to make the usage more clear in a subsequent release version...

You shouldn't be getting *any* warnings or errors.
- What version are your running of BackupPC_copyPcPool?
- Are you sure you have my library jLib.pm properly installed?

Actually, the errors don't even make sense the whole
BackupPC_copyPcPool.pl file has less than 1100 lines while you are
showing errors on line 1234. (I assume you didn't do something silly
like combining jLib.pm and BackupPC_copyPcPool.pl into a single file)
