I noticed that the socket in /var/mysql is called mysql.sock while the one in /opt/local/var/run/mysql5 is called mysqld.sock (note the 'd' between 'l' and '.').
I tried using
$ sudo ln -s /var/mysql/mysql.sock /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
for some reason that also didn't work.
Then I tried:
$ sudo ln -s /var/mysql/mysql.sock /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysql.sock
$ sudo mv /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysql.sock /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
this worked. I don't know why this worked and making the link directly didn't, but at least it's working now.

I ran into a similar issue a long time ago with PHP. PHP has an option to control this setting at build time and it also has a runtime option in php.ini.
The DBI port should be doing the same. I don't think users should have to add things outside of the prefix, unmanaged by port.

I thought creating a link from the socket file to where Perl expects
to find it was working. It's not.<br>
<br>
What is working is to specify the path to the socket file with
"mysql_socket=/var/mysql/mysql.sock" in the dsn when I make the
connection, but, that makes the code specific to my machine, so I'd
like to find a better solution. Still looking.<br>
