Error while connecting to data base.

Hi,

  I am new to perl and database and trying to connect to the data base,
but getting the below error.

And perl version I am using is 5.8.5.

 

[wipcafe@testbrix Test]$ perl data.pl

DBI connect('database=mustafa;host=10.207.36.108','root',...) failed:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;
consider upgrading MySQL client at data.pl line 7

can't connect: Client does not support authentication protocol requested
by server; consider upgrading MySQL client at data.pl line 7.

 

And please find the code here........

 

 use DBI;

 

  # $user = "mohammed";

  # $pass = "mohammed";

  #my $dbh = DBI->connect
("dbi:mysql:uitest;host=10.207.36.119",$user,$pass) or

  my $dbh =
DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=mustafa;host=10.207.36.108","root",
"wipcafe")or

                          die "can't connect: $DBI::errstr";

 # my $dbh =
DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=uitest;host=10.207.36.119",$user,$pass)
or

 #  my $dbh =
DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=uitest;host=localhost",$user,$pass) or

#    die "can't connect: $DBI::errstr";

  $dbh->do ("DROP all");

  $dbh->disconnect ();

 

end DBI;

 

Please guide me for that error.  I am very new to perl and data base, so
even basic things will be welcome.

 

While installing DBI, only I able to install DBI and not other two
modules Data::ShowTable & DBD::mysql

And the error while installing is as below.

 

The module Data::ShowTable isn't available on CPAN.

 

Thanks,

Mustafa
