Thanks for the help.  I did that (yum install 'perl(XML::Twig)', then 
re-ran yum install mythtv-suite, and I got the following:

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(XML::Twig) >= 3.28 is needed by package 
xmltv-grabbers
Error: Missing Dependency: libFLAC.so.8()(64bit) is needed by package 
mythmusic
Error: Missing Dependency: PIL is needed by package mytharchive

I'm going to try to re-compile the 3.32 version of XML::Twig that I 
downloaded and see if that helps.  Is there a way I can tell what 
version of XML::Twig got installed?  Obviously, its older than 3.28, but 
I don't know what it is.

Thanks,
Harry
