Can anyone tell me where my custom scripts should be located

The problem isn't the location of your script, it's the location of
the MythTV perl module. You need to find MythTV.pm, and then do
something like:<br>
<br>
use lib '/path/to/MythTV';<br>
<br>
before "use MythTV". Of course, depending on how you installed
MythTV, it's quite possible that this perl module wasn't included.</div></blockquote><br></div></div></div><div>From all the /opt stuff it looks like you're using the MacPorts version. I don't know if Craig packages the perl bindings but you could verify by going into a terminal window and doing a:</div>
<div><br></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>find /Applications -name MythTV.pm</div><div><br></div><div>and if that turns up nothing try /opt instead of /Applications. The output will tell you what directory to use with Dan's advice but the "correct" solution is for Craig to patch the backend's startup sequence to add the folder to perl's library search path.</div>
