Hi all. I have a new server that has MySQL 8.0.27. Trying to access that remotely via DBI (running script on Windows) and an getting an error: DBI connect(...) failed: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server and it suggests to upgrade DBI.

I have 1.622 and there is a 1.636 available. When I try to upgrade it using cpanm it fails and the log lists a bunch of failed tests:

It says I can force install but I'm reluctant to do this for fear of breaking my existing DBI install. How do I fix this?
