I've seen it. I believe the error message is exactly what it
says. Certain now deprecated features are in use in BackupPC
3.1.0. The use of these still valid but deprecated features is warned
since some of the BackupPC perl files invoke 'strict'. Unfortunately,
there seems to be no good way to just shut off this error without
shutting off lots of other 'strict' error messaging (or at least
that's what I found in my searches).
The solution would be to rewrite the tagged lines (and several similar
other ones in other BackupPC source files) to avoid the deprecated
parentheses usage. It should be rather trivial, but it would be nice
to have it done as part of an "official" bug fix release.
