This isn't a permission problem; The above error message means that
the perl program didn't find any listening mysql server on the port it
tried to use. This 'looks' like a bug in the Mysql perl connect code.
Can you instead try to use the DBI/DBD interface; The mSQL-MySQL
modules only emulates the old Mysql interface so there may be
a bug in the emulation.
$dbh=DBI->connect("MySQL:$host:$databasename", $user, $password) || die "Got error:
'$DBI::errstr' when connecting to MySQL";
Regards,
Monty
