mythrename.pl missing [solved]

I'm running mythtv .22, and went to do some maintenance work on my box today.  In particular, I was going to run mythrename to rebuild my directory of real show names, which I do using the --link option so as not to mess up my regular recordings.  However, mythrename.pl no longer seems to exist on my system.  I may have last used it before the last update, but I can't find anything on the mythtv site, or anywhere else, that says this script is no longer being provided.  Anyone have any info on this?

[edit]

I found the latest version here:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/bran … hrename.pl

but am still wondering whether it should be included in the package.

Re: mythrename.pl missing [solved]

Just an update; I ran into this in the mythtv wiki:

mythrename.pl was deprecated in favor of mythlink.pl  due to the destructive nature of the script when used with default options
