I have created a small Perl script (actually a most of the code is borrowed 
from other BackupPC programs)  to list the shares for a specific host.

The only issue (that I know of / have encountered) is that if started with an 
unknown/unconfigured host the script continues and outputs the default share 
from config.pl. I really does not know how to catch this.

There are probably a few more errors/issues with the script as it is some 
years since I wrote my last Perl script (and then I was not using the object 
oriented features).
I have attached the script if someone needs something like this, feel free to 
use and change it. If you find some errors/issues and have a solution I would 
be grateful if you posted it here (or send me a private mail).
