Comment (by ijc):

 FWIW (and my Perl _is_ a bit rusty) your code looks find to me. It should
 be possible to do the `$mysql_conf{'db_host'} =
 $config->{'Database'}->{'Host'};` from within the preceeding loop which
 does the checks if you make each element of the list a tuple of XML name
 and local name, don't know if that will be any clearer though.

 WRT which library to use looking in `apt rdepends` for both `libxml-
 libxml-perl` and `libxml-simple-perl` on my Debian system I see that
 `libxml-libxml-perl` is in the dependency chain for XMLTV (and a tonne of
 Perl libraries) while `libxml-simple-perl` has fewer rdepends and doesn't
 include anything which I immediately associated with being related to
 MythTV in some way. That's rather unscientific but given I would expect
 some sizeable fraction of myth systems to have xmltv installed perhaps
 that's enough to lean that way?
