Cool!  That patch worked great on the current Gentoo version of 0.27
(media-tv/mythtv-0.27_p20131124).  Your timing couldn't have been
better as I needed to recompile mythtv today for a perl version
update.

I had already put that patch on both the back and front...I'll keep in
mind that I really don't need it on the backend.  Thanks again!  Great
stuff.
