to use MySQL's OLD_PASSWORD to set the password on the server in order

This isn't a DBI issue, the problem is that the passwords in your privilage tables (IE from 3.x or 4.0) are not compatible with MySQL 4.1's authentication protocol.

You're only two options are:
1) just use old_passwords (IE it has to be in ~/.my.cnf for CLI use = MySQL issue not Perl)
 2) update your privileges to 4.1 auth schema
 3) go back to 4.0 or whatever

You may find other options from the mysql folks :)
