Hello,
I have not been able to find an implementation of rsync
functionality using lwp. If anyone knows of one, please point me
to it. Else, would appreciate any pointers on creating a
"lwp-rsync".
Thanks,
--Suresh

I think you'd need to start here:
http://search.cpan.org/~cbarratt/File-RsyncP-0.52/lib/File/R syncP.pm
Or maybe here:
http://search.cpan.org/~leakin/File-Rsync-0.42/Rsync.pm
Disclaimer: I haven't used either module

The two suggested modules are interfaces to rsysn.
However, I am looking for a replacement to rsync written
in perl. (Similar to how lwp-rget is a replacement for
wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget.)

Unless I'm misreading the source (which is entirely possible)
RsyncP.pm is an implementation of the rsync protocol in Perl + XS.
Rsync.pm is indeed just a wrapper around the rsync binary.

Although there have already been a series of answers, I think they
missed this statement.
Do you want:
(a) something *like* rsync that fetches things using http? (Note that this
would not be possible IN GENERAL.)
or
(b) something that fetches things from an rsyncd using rsync protocol (not
HTTP) but doesn't use rsync(1)?
The protocols are radically incompatibly different, so I'm wondering what you
meant in your opening statement. And since LWP is about option A there,
that's really the only thing appropriate for this list (and it's also the
harder/impossible problem).
