So basically you are in the following situation:

1/ typing mysql -umakedoc1 -pmakedoc1 makedoc1 on the command line works
2/ connection to mysql fails in the install script (while being logged 
as the the same user)

Have you got the latest version of DBI? DBD::mysql?
Are you using any other perl scripts that connect to MySQL?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
