That's why I asked what distro you where running - Shepherd has a handy page for distro specific setups.

  http://svn.whuffy.com/index.fcgi/wiki/Installation#PerlDependencies

For example this will activate all the grabbers under debian distros (e.g mythbuntu):

sudo apt-get install xmltv libxml-simple-perl libjavascript-perl libalgorithm-diff-perl \
                     libgetopt-mixed-perl libcompress-zlib-perl libdata-dumper-simple-perl \
                     libdate-manip-perl liblist-compare-perl libdatetime-format-strptime-perl \
                     libhtml-parser-perl libxml-dom-perl libgd-gd2-perl libdigest-sha1-perl \
                     libarchive-zip-perl libio-string-perl libdbi-perl
