I don't use DBI, but when I connect via 'localhost', the client does not use an IP port, but rather uses the MySQL socket file. You must be sure to have the second instance of your MySQL server come up with its own socket file, and connect to that socket instead of the default one. The other solution is to not connect via 'localhost', but via your server's IP address, for which port 3400 should work.
