Re: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

I have just started to migrate a database between 2 servers

The old database was using mysql 3.23.56-nt with a perl (5.6.1) front end over IIS.
The new database is using mysql 4.1.16-nt with the same perl (5.6.1) front end over Apache 2.

The problem is i dont know any perl and i am now getting the error message:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

The code used to connect is:
my $dbh = Mysql->connect(db_login()) || db_error();

where
db_login() is a function returning the db, host, user and password
db_error() returns the error.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Regards,

Ryan
