Which version of MySQL (the server programme) are you running? (Use the MySQL cmd line
client, run the query
select version();
Which version of DBD::MySQL are you running? (Run, from the command line,
perl -MDBD::mysql -e "print $DBD::mysql::VERSION"
Background: There was a change in the authentication protocol that the MySQL server uses
by default. That happened years back, But if you're using an old DBD::mysql, it might not
know about it yet.

No, nothing to do with the user and his privileges. The problem arises before MySQL can
even start to check the privileges in detail.
