Claire The Authentication protocols changed with 4.1. If you do a search on the archive this subject has come up several times. Either upgrade your perl interface or make 4.1.5 use the old protocol.

Re: Can't connect to DB after upgrading to mysql 4.1.5
If you are using an ODBC driver or some other pre-4.1 library to connect to a post-4.1 MySQL server you can get the message you describe. Here is some reading about cross-version authentication issues: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Problems.html (esp section A.2) http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Access_denied.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Application_password_use.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Password_hashing.html What it boils down to is that your pre-4.1 client is trying to validate a much longer password hash from the server against a locally created hash built from the password you are using to login with. Solve this by doing any one of these three things: 1) force your post-4.1 server to always use the old-style hashes (less secure) 2) update certain records in the mysql.user table using the OLD_PASSWORD() function (preferred) 3) upgrade your client (not always possible) The reading describes how to do all of those suggestions.
