Brion's suggestion helped and it worked.
You need to add something like this to /etc/my.cnf:
[mysqld]
set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M
(or, if you are using MySQL 4 or above)
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=16M
and then restart.
Out of curiosity, is this a standard Perl script you
are using for
importing with a progress meter? Can I download it somewhere?
No, it's something I wrote. I added it to
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useless_Perl_Scripts
so you can download it there.
