I have Perl Installed. However, EQEMU cannot connect to the Database. The only error message in the Log File is the following:
[02.29. - 23:02:06] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

world.exe dies after that.

For this problem I think you need to run the SQL command provided by Angelox in this thread:

I don't think it's anything to do with Perl.
