 Here is the problem.

I have a primary and a secondary web server. I want to sync the home
directory paths on the primary server with  the secondary server. I am
fairly ignorant to rsync and wondering what is the best method of doing this
and how would I call the procedure from say a "perl script".
Both Servers are FreeBSD 4.2  and there are actually two directorys I want
to sync 1) /www/home 2) /www/default.  Here is my rsyncd.conf file

#####
motd file = /etc/rsyncmotd
max connections = 5
syslog facility = local3

[home]
    path = /www/home
    comment = Home Directory Path
    uid = nobody
    gid = nobody
    max connections = 2
    read only = no

[default]
   path = /www/default
   comment = ASU Homepage Path
   uid = nobody
   gid = nobody
   max connections = 2
   read only = no
