in thread plugin 'mysql_old_password' cannot be loaded

I tried to install the version 4.033 of DBD::mysql

From cpan, the compilation failed because of missing header files.

dbdimp.c:36:20: fatal error: poll.h: No such file or directory
 #  include <poll.h>

[download]

Where can I get these ?

Thanks

    When installing a module and experiencing problems, expecially with old versions, it's important to check the changelog. See https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/DBD-mysql#L230:

        You don't show your build process, you don't say which version of the mysql prerequisites you're building against. I explained the issues here.
