possible bug with module

I just upgraded to the latest DBD mysql module after many years of  
using the older version.

I noticed that I get an error if \%attr is not passed along with the  
connect string.

Is this a bug? Or is the perldoc out of date?

use DBI;
$db_database    = "test";
%attr                            = {};
$drvh = DBI->install_driver('mysql');

# this fails
$dbh = $drvh->connect($db_database,"","")
         or die "Cannot connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";;

# this works
$dbh = $drvh->connect($db_database,"","",\%attr)
        or die "Cannot connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";;

Thanks in advance
