My call to cpan was wrong, and that caused this strange junoscript install. If you work in the cpan shell (by calling cpan without arguments on the shell), install is the keyword for installing a module (like install Acme::DonMartin), but if you use cpan the way I did on the command line install is no keyword anymore, but it is interpreted as a module. And junoscript-perl contains an "install" module. So from the command line you have to call cpan like "cpan Acme::DonMartin". Really strange, but in some way very perlish (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMTOWTDI" rel="nofollow">TMTOWTDI</a>) ;-) But beyond don't trust your friends in this. Cpan is very cool, just like apt-get is for debian/ubuntu. Of course not for the average user, but installing backup-manager with the s3 upload method is not was the average user wants, right? Just follow cpan and install the dependencies for libxml as suggested. Tell me if you run into any errors. Neal: Regarding the junoscript install.

But when I ran the first cpan command, I was frustrated to run into a huge tangle of surprising warning messages, and an attempt to install some odd thing named junoscript-perl and more questions about other Unsatisfied dependencies. Friends warn me away from cpan. Any more words of wisdom? ubuntu feisty has backup-manager version 0.7.5-3 so that seems pretty up-to-date.

Or is there something I missed? Colin: After installing backup-manager and the needed dependencies, all you have to do ist editing the quite well commented configuration.
