ok, here you are:

from ~/
which perl
/opt/local/bin/perl

perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-2level
...

perldoc DBD::mysql
No documentation found for "DBD::mysql"


Mind you I'm in the process of reinstalling DBD::mysql...

What I'm going to try is reinstalling DBD from source.  I'm hoping that
will clear up issues with the linked mysql library.

I think I've isolated it to a mysql.sock issue.  Perl will only
look for a non-exsisting dyld as follows:

dyld: /usr/sbin/httpd can't open library: 
/sw/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.14.dylib  (No such file or directory, 
errno = 2)
[Thu Feb 10 01:14:20 2005] [notice] child pid 2914 exit signal 
Trace/BPT trap (5)

It's was a database that I installed hoping it would help the source 
DBD install.
Instead it made it so I could use the database I wanted to use.  I 
already know
about the passing socket to DBI->connect(), but I can't find any 
mysql.sock other
than the default one set up with the mysql package installer from:
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/

I even tried to uninstall it using the steps described on his site, no 
luck.
I installed the darwinport mysql, and am hoping I can get my DBD::mysql 
to
use that one, instead.  But when I issue:
/opt/local/bin/mysqlcheck
I get the following error:
/opt/local/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local 
MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) when trying to 
connect
Which makes me think the mysql databases are all set up to use the same 
mysql.sock.

I'm not sure, but I think that's a problem.  Not sure how to correct it 
yet either, but
I'm reading up on it....
