Apache::DBI experts:

I have the following in my startup.pl:
use CGI qw(:all);
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser', 'carpout';
use List::Util 'shuffle';
CGI->compile(':all');
Apache::DBI->connect_on_init
  ("DBI:mysql:holidayshop",
     "dba",
     "theactualpw",
    {
       PrintError => 1, # warn() on errors
       RaiseError => 0, # don't die on error
       AutoCommit => 1, # commit executes immediately
    }
  );
$Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 0;
1;

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_%';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| wait_timeout  | 300   |    (I have set this to 172800 as well, but it
somehow doesn't stick)
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> SHOW global VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_%';

mysql> SHOW session VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_%';
+---------------+-------+

I am load testing by sending about 300 page requests that utilize the
database every minute or so for the period of an hour.

Consistently I see about 6-8 occurrences of the following error in my
Apache error log for the hour no matter what I seem to do:

 -e: DBI connect('holidayshop','dba',...) failed: Authentication plugin
'mysql_native_password' cannot be loaded: not initialized at
/var/www/holidayshop/perl/validatephone.pl line 16.

The actual line #16 in the code is:

my $logdb = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:holidayshop', 'dba', 'theactualpw');

Hundreds of thousands of connections occur either outright or out of cache
without error and work just fine.   The only problem is these 6-8 errors in
the log.

Can someone clue me in on what to do in order to try and eliminate any of
the errors from happening when doing a load test like this?
