"which" searches the directories in your PATH for the mysql command and reports:
Code:
 
no mysql in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /Users/timo/usr/local/ /usr/local/bin

but your command line was
Code:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"

Try adding the directories from your command line that aren't currently in your path (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin) to the path in your .profile. Log out and back in - you can check the actual value of your path using the command "echo $PATH".

hope this helps

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that can add custom sources to your CPANPLUS installation. This is a wrapper around the "custom
       module sources" code as outlined in "CUSTOM MODULE SOURCES" in CPANPLUS::Backend.

       This allows you to extend your index of available modules beyond what's available on "CPAN" with your own local distributions, or ones
       offered by third parties.
