I also asked the question from the other direction on the DBI maillist and I don't know if the DBD::mysql maintainer was aware of the implications. He was focusing on stored procedures (a 5.x option I thougth). A warning should go into the Perl interface section of the manual (~~Temporarily you will have to use OLD_PASSWORD until DBD::mysql is updated~~ or some such). Once you know what the problem is you can look in the correct section of the manual, but until then I didn't know where to look. But it was Monday.
