Hi,
I have a perl script that connect to mysql using the

my $dbh =
DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$dbname;host=$host","$dblogin",
"$dbpasswd") or die "Cannot connect to $dbname: " .
$DBI::errstr;
But after I upgraded to 4.1.5 I get the following

If you are using an ODBC driver or some other pre-4.1 library to connect
to a post-4.1 MySQL server you can get the message you describe.
Here is some reading about cross-version authentication issues:

The Authentication protocols changed with 4.1. If you do a search on the
archive this subject has come up several times. Either upgrade your perl
interface or make 4.1.5 use the old protocol.
