RE: soft link mysql socket?

Hello, mysql Gurus, Because of disk space issues, the data dir of my mysql DB is somewhere else other than /var/lib/mysql. I did not link /var/lib/mysql to the real data dir though. It works OK until I want to use perl DBI which complains can't connect to mysql thru '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

I'm working with maxDB 7.5 and trying to figure out whether mySQL 4.0.x database files can be read by it. I'm getting the impression we will need to run a sqlimport from a mysql dump to get the data. Is this the case? Has anyone been successful in migrating to maxDB from mySQL 4.0.x? thanks.
