Hello, we're using mysql.pm to connect to mysql from perl. After installing a second Mysql-Server we need to connect to the new installation using another port. Unfortunately we did not find out how to do this up to now. Setting mysql_tcp_port or mysql_unix_port in the perl-script doesn't work. Trying to set the port for the DBI-Connect in Mysql.pm failed too. We can't use DBI instead of mysql.pm cause we're using the mysql.pm- Query subroutine in almost every script (>100).
