FYI After digging out some documentation ( RFM indeed ) it is all so simple in DBD::mysql ... As of version 3.23.49 LOCAL within LOAD DATA _may_ be disabled in the _client_ library. By adding an option to the DSN-string within the connect statement the function is re-enabled at the client side too .
As per http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php an (lesser documented) option is to be put into the _fifth_ parameter of the mysql_(p)connect-statement. In MySQLcc, while editing a servers properties, you can enable it via the 'MySQL Options' tab.
