hmm...
  I'd be rather suprised to find the mysql socket in /tmp. Something like 
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock is far more likely. Check the setting in 
/etc/my.conf, which should be something like
[mysqld]
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Then check that your perl modules are pointing to the same place.

cheers
