It is.
Converting the entire 888 line MythTV.pm file into a pre-processed file
just to be able to change a single value seemed overkill, so I opted
for a new file. I didn't realize that it would end up installed at the
top level. I will see if MakeMaker will allow me to extract that value
from a file in a subdirectory.
If any perl wizards are reading this, I'd love to hear any ideas you
have.
