Just to be clear that it's not a perl issue...if I set my HOME to /, I
can reproduce what I'm assuming is the error you're getting:

mythback root # export HOME=/
mythback root # perl /usr/share/mythtv/contrib/optimize_mythdb.pl
Net::UPnP::ControlPoint is not installed!
Please install Net::UPnP or copy ~/.mythtv/config.xml
from a working MythTV installation to //.mythtv/config.xml.
Compilation failed in require at
/usr/share/mythtv/contrib/optimize_mythdb.pl line 15.
