Can anyone tell me where my custom scripts should be located for an OSX installation?  Is that my problem or is there something else?  I am running Lion, the latest version that works on this Mac Pro...

>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:

	find /Applications -name MythTV.pm

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.

Usually Craig pops up when there's an OSX question, maybe he's on holidays.
