DBD::mysql says:

When enabling mysql_SSL there are other ssl option that should also be enabled at least mysql_ssl_ca_file or mysql_ssl_ca_path.

    Yes, I've tried unsuccessfully to supply them. I'm told they're only needed when something (the OS? Perl?) "doesn't know where the certs are located". But I think the key thing is, the connection string, minus those additional SSL options, works fine when I connect using our /usr/bin/perl installation - just not when I connect using my personal v22 installation.

      I think clueless newbie isn't as clueless s/he contends. Let's see if there is something enabled by default. Let's compare the two $conn data structures. Try something like this (untested):

      #!/shebang_goes_here
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use DBI;
my $user = 'charrison';
my $pass = '********';
my $conn = 'DBI:mysql:database=dwcontact;host=192.168.200.39;port=3402
+;mysql_ssl=1';
print Dumper ($conn);
my $dbh  = DBI->connect($conn, $user, $pass);

      Perhaps mysql_ssl_ca_file or mysql_ssl_ca_path are getting defined in a way we don't understand.

      Cheers,

        Hmm..

        $conn's just a string, in either case. (Dumper confirms this.)
