DBD::mysql gripe
This journal entry is simply a gripe, nothing insightful or interesting.
When using DBD::mysql, if you specify the host to connect to as localhost, the driver attempts to connect via the UNIX socket by default rather than the localhost TCP connection - This is annoying because it created an error which I had to fix during a code rollout. If I wanted to connect via the UNIX socket, I would have specified it by way of the mysql_socket directive in the DSN.
Feeling much better now
an endless discussion thread about what features to include.
