[mythtv-users] can't run optimize_mythdb.pl from command line

[Jeremy D. Eiden]

Thank you to you and Greg Oliver. Sorry I couldn't find your answer Mr. 
Oliver.

For those, if any, that are running OpenSuse 15.1 with MythTV 29-fixes, 
just install:

perl-IO-Socket-INET6

and you are good.

thank you both!
