Subject: host=localhost switches to UNIX socket instead of TCP/IP
The POD should mention that when setting host=localhost DBD::mysql tries to connect through the mysql_sock (usually /tmp/mysql.sock) instead of TCP/IP. The solution to force TCP/IP connection is to add port number _and_ switch hostname to 127.0.0.1 or similiar. Alessandro Ranellucci

This behaviour is documented in this manual page, so it's not my guess: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-real-connect.html Alessandro Ranellucci

Added note to documentation for DBD::mysql about needing to use 127.0.0.1 as hostname for connecting via TCP/IP to localhost. Thanks for the report. Jim Winstead MySQL Inc.
