I setup a new perl (strawberry portable) and I'm stuck with a failing connection to mysql server. That connection was working (and is still working) without problem on my old perl setup. I have no admin rights on the mysql server, I didn't create the users and password myself.

I have tried to move DBIx::Class in perl/site/lib and DBI in perl/vendor/lib from the old to the new install, but that does not change the problem.

The error is 
DBI Connection failed: DBI connect('host= ... ;database= ... ;','user_
+name',...) failed: Authentication plugin 'mysql_old_password' cannot 
+be loaded: The specified module could not be found.
