Is there perhaps a different mailing list I should be asking this
question? Or maybe anyone here that could give me any ideas or direction?
I would really like to get this working. I would greatly appreciate any
help.

I'm trying to get BackupPC running on a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router.
This has been accomplished here
http://www.tedcarnahan.com/2009/07/09/installing-backuppc-on-openwrt/
but on a different router. I have everything installed and everything
executes without any error messages at all.
The BackupPC daemon runs in perl and it combines several file
descriptors together and listens to them with the perl "select"
statement. When you try to connect to the daemon with any of the
backuppc tools it just hangs. Using strace I can see it connects to
the daemon and sends a command and then hangs waiting to "read" a
response. Using strace on the backuppc daemon shows that it just sits
at the "select" command but never seems to receive anything.
I found this ticket https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/6900 which seems to
describe a problem with the perl select command on ar7xxx platforms
under OpenWRT.
So.. A previous poster had this same problem and there are some posts
on the BackupPC mailing list regarding it. I also posted on that
mailing list but the guys there didn't seem able to help. Here are
the links to their archives which has a lot of details about the problem.
Original thread form previous poster:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=200908251808.11116.chrdr%40gmx.at
And here's my thread :
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1270844631.m2f.332300%40www.backupcentral.com
I was wondering if anyone here might have an idea rather this is a
problem with OpenWRT or Perl or maybe something else?
