You got my hopes up, but then I realized that my post above is wrong, I 
have MovieDataCommandLine twice, when I meant to put:

MoviePosterCommandLine /usr/local/bin/imdb.pl -P

It's actually a symlink to /usr/local/src/scripts/imdb.pl which is my 
SVN checkout of said file, which gets updated by my SVN update script so 
I don't have to worry about it. And yes, it does work from the 
command-line, but not within MythVideo/Mythweb. Any other ideas? :)
