in thread DBI / mySQL: Access denied for user 'myusername'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

If the error idle linked to is the problem that TedPride is having, the solution is to install mySQL 5 locally, so you have the correct shared libraries, and then reinstall DBD::mysql.

However, I'd be interested to know the success/failure case of trying to connect using the given credentials from the command line, as I find that's the most common problem given that error message.
