wow, that sounds like something is horribly wrong with your MySQL installation...

Jouni, could there actually be a *bug* that would cause this?

You almost certainly have installed a DBD::mysql that was compiled against an
older client library than your server can use.

After you confirm that you can connect using the mysql command line, re-install
DVD::mysql from CPAN

If you have more trouble, use one of the options at http://bugzilla.org/support
rather than opening a bug.
