This file doesn't exist

That file is created when you start up the MySQL daemon.

Regardless, the DBD::mysql is a tricky one to install due to 2 reasons.

1. Perl and MySQL must be built with the same compilers; this will save you lots of frusteration when installing the DBD.

2. GET the packages needed using CPAN and manually

% perl Makefile.PL (See Known Problems, you must pass flags to the MySQL libraries)

Ok. Same problem test install wants to see the file in /var/run/mysqld/<file.sock>
How do I tell mysql to send the sock file here......

Thanks again for look at my post....

Is mysql running? Or even installed?

Yes mysqld_safe is running.

I found a file in /temp/mysql/mysql.sock
But I cannot find mysqld.sock
