yeah, you would also get an error if the script couldn't find the
mysql.txt file.

Ok.  Perl's pretty easy to deal with - if you could edit the db stuff,
it should be easy enough to add a few print statements into the db query
section that builds up the show information and find out why it's not
getting any data (or try running the queries manually to see if they
come up with anything).  It *should* error out if the queries fail
completely, so it's behaving like the shows just aren't matching up with
their database entries.

Hopefully we can match up timezone-wise..  If you're in the UK, I'm 8
hours behind you (or so - I forget how daylight savings affects that... 
stupid daylight savings...).
