I don't believe that DBD::mysql reads my.cnf. The solution I used was to symlink /var/lib/mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock; you can do this temporarily to pass make test, then read perldoc DBD::mysql to see how to configure the socket file in the DBI->connect call. (I'm not sure if there's an easy way to tell make test the location of mysql.sock--someone who knows DBD::mysql better may give a more accurate answer.) --keith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] alt.os.linux.slackware FAQ: http://wombat.san-francisco.ca.us/cgi-bin/fom
