[mythtv-users] video2ipod - having trouble with perl

[Nick F]

Hi,

I've been trying to get Jeff's video2ipod script to work and been running
into some problems getting it to run.  Specifically I'm having an issue with
the Term::ReadLine call in line 251

It's spitting out an error message: Cannot do `initialize' in
Term::ReadLine::Gnu at /usr/local/bin/video2ipod line 251

line 251 is : $term = new Term::ReadLine 'name';

I've been driving myself crazy trying to get this error ironed out and
google isn't helping.  With 'just' the basic Term::ReadLine that comes with
perl I get the error: 'preput' is not supported in this version of
Term::ReadLine.  Installing Term::ReadLine:Gnu (which is supposed to provide
the preput command I then get the error above.

I started with a stock Fedora 8 perl installation, and even upgraded perl to
5.10 to try to get a newer Term::ReadLine

I'm not sure what to do now - I'm sure I'm doing something trivially wrong,
but don't know that much about perl, so I'm stabbing around in the dark a
bit.

Thanks!
Nick
