Before I had a chance to read through the article, I was looking through another mailing list and noticed that somebody else had the same problem and Randy Kobes set out to fix it - he compiled a new package against mysql-4.1.10: DBD-mysql-2.9005_3 and posted it for 8xx and 6xx. Linked respectively.

He also notified a guy at ActiveState of the new package. Hopefully they'll bundle it. It seems to work great.
Randy, copied you just to say thanks :)

Hi Jason
I am running MySQL 4.1.10 and ActivePerl 5.8.6.811 on Windows 2003. When I upgraded MySQL from an older version, everything using DBD-MySQL complained about not being compatible and MySQL is telling me to upgrade to a newer client (in this case, obviously, my client being DBD-MySQL).
You've done everyone (including yourself) a disservice by not showing us the error message, so I'll take a guess that the problem is the one documented here:
