OK, finally I've got a (temporary) solution to the MIME::Lite/SMTP
problem. It seems that comcast.net doesn't like invalig doamin names
with the EHLO and it wants a valid (at least in form) FROM header.

When SMTP doesn't get a domain (which MIME::Lite doesn't supply) then
it defaults to localhost.localdomain. Get_TV_grid uses a from of
$Pgm_Name (get_tv_grid in this case). So I've changed it to:
"$Pgm_Name\@comcast.net". I also changed the localhost.localdomain to
my host.comcast.net these 2 things make this work. I'll attempt to
come up with more permanent solutions later.

The rest of my problems were related to upgrade Perl modules and conflicts
with MH2.73's site modules. Removing the MH modules fixed all but the last
problem.
