Setting login Payload information

[Chris Kottaridis]

I tried this snippet of the sample program and captured the information sent via wireshark:
===================================
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

# Connect to the database.
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=test;host=127.0.0.1",
"joe", "joe's password",
{'RaiseError' => 1});

# Disconnect from the database.
$dbh->disconnect();

exit;
=================================

In wireshark output I see the login request for Joe and also has a PayLoad section:

Username: joe
Password: eac7451479b75687f0e71e7aa3244870145937be
Schema: test
Payload: 6d7973716c5f6e61746976655f70617373776f7264005303...

In the Payload section is some information regarding the client, specifically:

client_name libmysql _pid8871
client_version 10.0.17

Is there a way to set the client name and version to match the application I am writing rather then the library used ?

In general how do I control the content of the login Payload ?

Thanks
