This and all the other tools use my own code to read the .my.cnf file. I just recently learned this isn't necessary: the MySQL DBD driver has this ability built-in! I am going to convert them to use this, and I feel sure this will solve the problem. (Plus, it'll be lots less code for me to maintain).</p> Quite true.

Even if it's correctly specified in ~/.my.cnf, the it tries to connect to /tmp/mysql.sock. Workaround: Connect with -host-Option giving the FQDN or IP address of localhost.</p> The tool does not yet take into consideration a socket that differs from /tmp/mysql.sock for a local MySQL server.
