I use MariaDB with the exact same incantations as for mysql. In other words, I use the same DBI, the same DSN (with "mysql" in it instead of "MariaDB"), etc. I wonder if you might be changing more than is necessary. Essentially, whereas the code says "mysql", it actually points to the MariaDB installation (I don't have both on the same server, so it cannot possibly be accessing the database from anything other than the MariaDB installation). Now, perhaps someone will inform me that I have been doing it all wrong...but it has always worked for me this way.

Blessings,
