These are just warning messages. I get the same ones. It still works
fine.

I don't think you'll have a valid tv_grab_na.conf by default. I think
you'll get one after running mythtv's setup, however. You can create one
by following the mythtv documentation, or by following the xmltv
documentation. All depends on what you want. (I'd recommend myth's.)

Are you sure? Are there other errors you haven't mentioned, because the
only fatal error here appears to be a missing configuration file, which
isn't really a Perl or xmltv issue.

And you followed your 'perl Makefile.PL' with 'make' and 'make install',
right?

Sure, that's another way you can do it.

>From what I see, it looks like you've just missed a few configuration
steps, probably because the warning messages made you think something
was severely broken when it actually wasn't. Make sure you've created a
.i18n file or similar as specified in the myth docs, or else xmltv
definitely won't work well for you. :-)
