I am not sure why this did it but now I get the error:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server.
consider upgrading MySQL client.
I researched this and found the "old_password" needed to be "on" for this
to
work. Any idea why I need the old_password set to on to use this script?
I
am using redhat and everything is updated to the latest rpm's.
The script works with the old_password set to on.

It sounds like DBD::MySQL is still setup to use the old MySQL client
library. You might try asking about this issue on the DBI mailing
list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Just out of curiosity what does
perl -MDBD::mysql -e 'print "$DBD::mysql::VERSION\n"'
print out? If the version number is less than 4.003 then you do not
have the latest version of the module. This would not surprise me
since packaged Perl modules tend to be older than ones installed with
CPAN or by hand.
