These are the only two required by MythTV.  I have never heard of or 
have any idea what those 'egenix' packages are.

 From the configure list, the modules it is looking for are...

ExtUtils::MakeMaker
Config
Exporter
Fcntl
File::Copy
Sys::Hostname
DBI
HTTP::Request
LWP::UserAgent
Net::UPnP::QueryResponse
Net::UPnP::ControlPoint

There should be no difference between the two.

The Python checks should probably be adapted.  The NetVision and Video 
grabbers that use Python have been moved into the core installer, 
meaning the tools that need the modules are already installed by the 
time the check is performed.
