I have experienced this on Win32 platforms with ActiveState Perl 5.8.0 when upgrading DBI to 1.3?

For some reason, DBI is not taking into account the username & password specified in the DSN.

However, the following works for me:

my $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$DSN", $uname, $pwd) || die "Error: $DB
+I::errstr";
