The first time you try to build, it will list the missing stuff (Date::Manip, etc).  These are easy enough to install with Cpan (eg 'sudo /usr/bin/cpan -i Date::Manip Image::Size DateTime::Format::ISO8601 SOAP::Lite').  You'll be asked repeatedly about installing missing dependencies.  If you just keep hitting return, eventually it ought to install everything.

Hey all,

I hate to drag up an old topic, but has there been *any* progress on this (http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9223)?  There has been no discussion in trac, and I haven't seen anything here either.  I'm still stuck on an older version of 0.24/fixes that has issues that were supposedly fixed in current 0.24/fixes, but since it is basically unusable for Mac OS X, then I'm not sure what's going on.
