in reply to DBI / MySQL weird connection problems

looks like your mysql.sock is in a different location. Try your /tmp dir, or failing that, search for it.

It must be there somewhere :)

Update: How hard did you look?

mysql --print-defaults

    Hmmm, --print-defaults didn't tell me lots.   But, hey, your other suggestion of looking for it produced results when I used "locate mysql.sock".   On my system (RH7.2) I found it as /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock , even though standard for MySQL seems to be /tmp/mysql.sock like you mentioned.   Ah, well...
