Your first port of call should be:

perldoc DBD::mysql

Particularly:

   mysql_socket
     As of MySQL 3.21.15, it is possible to choose the Unix socket
     that is used for connecting to the server. This is done, for
     example, with
 
       mysql_socket=/dev/mysql
 
     Usually there’s no need for this option, unless you are using
     another location for the socket than that built into the
     client.

Which should go into your DSN when you call DBI->connect().

The same goes for any DBI driver - DBD::Pg, DBD::ODBC, DBD::sybase, etc.
