Yes, the MythTV Perl bindings are available for all versions of MythTV.  
It sounds like the packages you're using are broken, so you'll need to 
talk to your packagers to get them fixed (and/or ask for help from other 
people using the same distro, who may be able to help you get things 
properly updated to the right versions).

Yeah, properly replying to a digest version of the list traffic is 
extremely difficult unless you have a mail client that actually knows 
how and does it for you.  In general, we recommend that people disable 
digests when they're planning to post (versus "lurk") on the list.
