When trying to connect to a MySQL database that uses SSL, I get an Unknown Error Number. The script I'm using is really simple, yet I'm not able to do it.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use v5.10;

use DBI;
say "Perl MySQL Connect Demo";

my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:db:server";
my $username = "user";
my $password = 'password';

my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,$username,$password);

Debugging, I get the following error: 
DBI connect('db:server','user',...) failed: SSL connection error: unkn
+own error number at ./myscript.pl line 13.
 at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/DBI.pm line 697.

Disabling SSL at MySQL allows the connection to work. Can you please help me? Any suggestion?
