Client does not support authentication protocol

[Nikos]

A guy told me that:

Downloading a new version from CPAN I don't think will help unless you
actually compile it against version 4.1 or newer client libraries. I'll
let someone else walk you through this because I had to do it once with
the Cygwin version of Perl using GCC and that involved recompiling both
the client libraries and dbd::mysql. If you're using the Activestate
version of Perl, you probably didn't get the CPAN version of dbd::mysql,
you got the Activestate version which is pre-compiled and, the last time
I checked, a couple minor versions behind the CPAN version.

You'll probably want to ask for more help in the Perl forums.

============================================================

but i dont know exactly what to do:

Actually yes i do have ActiveState's Perl version and i

c:\> ppm
install dbd::mysql
exit

to download the mysql DataBase Driver.

What exactly i must do now to get mysql 5 to work?

I don't quite follow (- mind you I haven't tried to install DBD::MySQL -)
but I thought that post was pointing out a *solution* not a *problem*

If you're saying that you can't update DBD::MySQL because of the existing
DBD::MySQL installation, then first run:
ppm remove DBD-MySQL

I assume that's what you meant when you said that "ppm won't download it
again", but if you meant something else then let us know (along with any
relevant error mesages).
