I'm using MySQL v4.1.10.a on Windows XP Activestate Perl v5.8.6.811 DBI v1.47 This is my script: ---------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use DBI;
my $database = "bg_test"; my $hostname = "localhost"; my $port = 3306; my $user = "root"; my $password = "msqlborkur"; my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port"; my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password); ---------------------------------------- When I run the script I get this error message: DBI connect('database=bg_test;host=localhost;port=3306','root',...) failed: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client at test.pl line 15 ---------------------------------------- I hope you have the time to look into this.
