Hello Anonymous Monk,

I assume since this similar post (Access denied for user 'koha_library'@'localhost' (using password: YES)) was made yesterday it was made by you. At this post you are providing the OS that you are running but not the Perl Version or the DBI version that you are running. Since I can see from the post that you are running a 14.04 LinuxOS I assume you are running an old version of Perl and DBI.

The easiest and fastest possible solution to your problem is to update Perl to the latest possible version of your OS (which will result also updating the DBI). As soon as you do that and your code still does not work (produce the same error), create a minimal reproductive example and post here so we can experiment with your code. Remember to let us know the Perl and DBI version of your minimal example code (after updating Perl).

Hope this helps, BR.
