well, i did use the -S option, and it worked -- thank you
-- but unfortunately i can't say that i learned much.

i have a number of perl scripts dealing with mysql data
bases.  if i append " -S /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" to each
mysql command therein, i seem to get success.  that's good.
however i have these same scripts working on other computers
using the identical operating system (fc25) and don't need
to resort to this.  what's going on?  i'm mystefied.

but thanks,
ole dan
