my mythtv user doesnt have sudo rights.
what i'm doing is 'su mythtv'.
as mythtv, 'perl -V' shows
  %ENV:
    PERL5LIB="/root/perl5/lib/perl5:"
    PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT=":/root/perl5"
    PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base /root/perl5"
    PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/root/perl5"
  @INC:
    /root/perl5/lib/perl5
    /usr/local/lib64/perl5
    /usr/local/share/perl5
    /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
    /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
    /usr/lib64/perl5
    /usr/share/perl5
    .

i'm not well versed with perl, but i've just used centos repos to handle anything perl so shouldnt be anything too unexpected going on (a combo of the default and epel repos)
