I'm trying to figure out how run mysql queries on a remote server over SSH using a tunnel. Here's what I got so far, but I have no idea if I'm on the right path so I could be way out to lunch:

use Net::OpenSSH;
use DBI;
use Modern::Perl;
use Data::Dumper;

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new('me@10.0.1.17');
my ($socket, $pid) = $ssh->open_tunnel('10.0.1.17', '3306');
print Dumper $socket;
print Dumper $pid;
my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=calendar;mysql_socket=$socket";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, 'user', 'pass');

This throws an error:

$VAR1 = \*{'Net::OpenSSH::$win'};
$VAR1 = 12877;
DBI connect('database=calendar;mysql_socket=GLOB(0x20f38e0)','user',..
+.) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 'GLOB(0
+x20f38e0)' (2) at t/XMLRPC.t line 27.
   at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20/DBI.pm line 685.

I'm not sure how to dereference that glob in a way that would be useful to DBI. Thanks.
