This is covered in the manual
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Password_hashing.html>: "A 4.1 client can
connect to a pre-4.1 server, because the client understands both the old and
new password hashing mechanisms." So, if you build the Perl modules against
the 4.1.x library, you should be able to connect to either server.

I now have MySQL 4.0.2 and MySQL 4.1.3 beta both installed and running on one
machine. I want to be able to use the Perl DBI / DBD to connect to both
servers. I understand that there have been some changes between the MySQL
4.0.X and 4.1.X series that may require differently compiled DBD's.
So my question is, do i need to have 2 separate DBD versions, or will the
newer one work for both MySQL servers. The old DBD does not work for the new
server. This is demonstrated by the error message:
DBI->connect(...) failed: Client does not support authentication protocol
requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client at connect_test.pl line
19
All the connect_test.pl tries to do is create a db connection to each server
separately.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
thanks much
