My MythTV master backend (untouched since installation) is running
Perl 5.8.6 and Date::Manip 5.44 on an old Fedora release. I don't see
any problems using the current XMLTV release. Here's the library info:

XMLTV library version: 0.5.59
tv_grab_uk_rt version: 1.340, 2011/04/26 02:13:08
libwww-perl version: 5.805
Date::Manip version: 5.44

I note from a thread on the mythtv-users lists that RHEL6 (and thus
SL6) are still using a Date::Manip 5.xx release by default - I don't
know the reasons for not providing a 6.xx version, but one is
available from atrpms.net (6.14 after just checking).

Cheers,
Nick
