+      This error is occurring because you are using the new password
+      encryption that comes with MySQL 4.1, while your
+      <filename>DBD::mysql</filename> module was compiled against an
+      older version of MySQL. If you recompile <filename>DBD::mysql</filename>
+      against the current MySQL libraries (or just obtain a newer version
+      of this module) then the error may go away.

+      If that does not fix the problem, or if you cannot recompile the
+      existing module (e.g. you're running Windows) and/or don't want to
+      replace it (e.g. you want to keep using a packaged version), then a
+      workaround is available from the MySQL docs:
