Hmm, if stuff runs consistently well on the command line, then that seems to
be ruling out a hardware error (unless you connect our DBI over TCP/IP, in
which case you could have a faulty Ethernet card; but I assumed you are
using a local UNIX domain socket, like /tmp/mysql.sock).

This DOES seem to indicate you are connecting using TCP/IP. Are you? If so,
a whole new sleuth of options appears.

Try connecting over the domain socket; or / and add something like this to
the [mysql] section of my.cnf,

    set-variable = connect_timeout=4

Just to see whether it is a timing problem.
