I'm hoping a simple DBI::MySQL upgrade will fix this issue. Here is the
Perl information...
Before you go about with that, you should move up to a production
release of MySQL, such as 5.0.2x ... MySQL 5.0.4 was an alpha or beta
release, and is well over a year old already. Unless you mistyped
and meant to say 5.0.24.
Also, if you're using MySQL v4.1 or higher, you should be using the
DBD::mysql v3.x series of drivers. If nothing else, because the 2.9x
series will fail to connect due to MySQL user password hashes having
changed in length between 4.0 and 4.1, which affects database users
created after the switch.
