Environment for sudo

["jbk" <user=22@nabble.blu.org>]

 I am running sudo from a perl script to start rsync. I get 
the following error: 
full backup started for directory / 
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync 
-server...........................--recursive --ignore-times . / 
Xfer PIDs are now 15129 
Got remote protocol 1868854643 
Fatal error (bad version): sudo: sorry, you must have a tty 
to run sudo 

I am modeling the invocation of rsync from an example I 
googled, that follows thus: 

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo 
$tarPath -c -v -f 
- -C $shareName --totals'; 

As I said the calling script is in perl, and I am 
interpolating. In this script there are options to use 
rsync, tar, rsyncd etc... 

Notice in the example there is a call to /usr/bin/env 
followed by LC_All=C, is this setting the environment to 
appear as a tty?
