Hi guys,

May I ask you what should I do to let the 'caching_sha2_password' 
authentication method work in Windows?
In my setup I have Strawberry Perl 5.32.1, DBD::MariaDB 1.24, MySQL 8.4.7, 
MySQL Connector/C++ 9.5.

I already tried to reinstall the DBD::MariaDB module using the latest libraries 
from MySQL 8.4.7 but it didn't work.

Could you please advise?
I keep getting the error "DBI 
connect('database=v17_epvzparser_1;host=127.0.0.1;port=3308','epv',...) failed: 
Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded: Impossibile 
trovare il modulo specificato.".
The connection is made like this:
my $dbh = 
DBI->connect("DBI:MariaDB:database=$DBNAME;host=$MYHOST;port=$MYPORT", $MYUSER, 
$MYPSWD) or die "Connection error: $DBI::errstr";

Many thanks for you help!

Best Regards

Matteo Bottazzi
