What does "bad handshake" mean when connecting to mysql with DBD::mysql?

Cody Fendant has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My sqld is up and running
I can connect to it just fine with a mysql client and PHPMyAdmin and select, update etc
However when I try to connect to it with DBD::mysql I get "bad handshake" in DBI->errstr()

What kind of things can I check on? How can I debug this?

Hi, "bad handshake" sounds like an encryption mismatch. Have you reviewed the doc regarding `mysql_ssl` options? "How can I debug this?"* See https://metacpan.org/pod/DBI#TRACING Hope this helps! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l]
