Steve,

I upgraded from .29 to 34 a couple month ago and I don't see any errors
when running mythconverg_backup.pl on Debian 12 from a self-compiled
version of mythtv.  The version I have is:

# Script info
   $NAME           = 'MythTV Database Backup Script';
   $VERSION        = '1.0.13';

Steve I don’t get any errors. Once upon a time mythconverg_restore.pl left you with a working system. Now I find I have to do stuff like set ip and configure capture cards. Also my restored videos are devoid of artwork until a [scan] which restores it all.
[but the artwork-less videos do play]

Is the 1st line of the program: #!/usr/bin/perl -w ?
No leading spaces etc. Could be a copy/paste
issue where leading characters were included.

I build from src, so I just moved the git-downloads to /usr/local/bin

So yup, hash-bang is correct.

OK, then you probably saw it was last modified in 2017. git log programs/scripts/database/mythconverg_backup.pl

Another copy? Try: type mythconverg_backup.pl or maybe locate mythconverg_backup.pl
or perl --version

The output is exactly what happens when it executes as a shell script.
