Re: Error In Using Perl To Connect To MySQL

OS: Windows XP SP2
Perl version : v5.8.7 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
MySQL version : server: 5.0.21-community-nt
MySQL version : client: 5.0.11

Both Perl and MySQL work on my machine. I wanted to test using Perl
to manipulate MySQL data.

I installed DBI and DBD:mysql. And when I try testing to connect to
MySQL inside a perl script, I got the following error:

DBI connect('database=mymusic;host=localhost','root',...) failed:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;
consider upgrading MySQL client at mydbi.pl line 24

No need to upgrade, just give 'root' an old-style password. Have a look:
