Actually I'm not asking about either thing you mention. :-)  

I have the mythtv source.  I've been building it pretty much since I
started using MythTV (in fact I *have* to build it so that I can apply
patches that are required for my setup).  

When I asked, "what exactly needs to be done" I was wondering what
changes you think need to be made to the Perl code.  Do you have any
ideas as to what improvements can be made?  What does the code currently
do that is bad?  What functionality is missing?  etc...
