[mythtvnz] Mythbuntu 16.04 user experiences

I'm trying to do a database restore for this new install but I've run into  
a bit of a problem.I can't seem to run mythconverg_restore.pl.
I've tried "mythconverg_restore.pl" "sudo mythconverg_restore.pl" and both  
 from the directory the file is in and from the home directory.
On my 12.04 installation I have the same problem but Thunar has an execute  
option in the right click menu.In 16.04 Thunar does not have this option.I  
would prefer to run this from the terminal if I could.

So what am I missing here?
