The Answer:
Our friends over at perlmonks.org were able to guide me through:
in the httpd/error_log there was an error showing that the socket being
sought was /tmp/mysql.sock. On the other hand, mysqladmin version said that
/var/lib/mysql.mysql.sock was the socket being used.
The solution was to create a symlink using
ln -s /var/lib/mysql.mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock.
I remember that I had problems with this when installing DBI. The tests kept
looking for /tmp and what was there was /var/lib.
1) Does anyone know where the /var/lib came from?
2) Any chance to parametrize the socket on the DBI end?
