You answered your own question - the sock file is in a different location,
the simplest thing to do is alter that connect statement in the script and
pass in the location of your sock.. Something like
It probably looks something like
DBI:mysql:database=bugs:host=localhost
Change it to
DBI:mysql:database=bugs:host=localhost:mysql_socket=/usr/local/data/mysql.so
ck
And it should work.
Good luck
