error with glibc connecting to mysql database using dbi

[Siddhartha Basu]

Hi,
I am getting this following error in my redhat 9.0 linux box when i am 
trying to connect to the mysql server using the dbi.

==============
install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load 
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' 
for module DBD::mysql: 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: 
symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link 
time reference at 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
 at (eval 2) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
=================

This is the script that i have used for test purpose

============
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
my @arr = DBI->available_drivers();

foreach (@arr) {
        print $_,"\n";
        next if $_ =~ /proxy/i;
        my @datasources = DBI->data_sources($_);
        foreach my $val(@datasources) {
                print "\tData Source is $val\n";
        }
        print "\n";
}
exit;
===================
There were no error or problem before my upgradation to redhat 9.0 from 
8.0. Here are the softwares and their corresponding version that i have 
in my system.

MySQL-devel-3.23.55-1
MySQL-3.23.55-1
MySQL-client-3.23.55-1
MySQL-shared-3.23.55-1
MySQL-Max-3.23.55-1
glibc-2.3.2-27.9
perl-DBI-1.32-5
I don't know exactly the DBD::mysql version installed in my system. But 
the driver is present as i am getting the man pages wiht 'perldoc 
DBD::mysql and the driver name as available drivers.

Any idea how to solve this problem. And why this happening.

Thanks in advance.
