Minimum mysql version for DBD-mysql 2.9004?

I have been trying for several weeks to build DBD-mysql 2.9004 against
perl5.8.5 on a SunOS 5.8 system. mysql 3.22.30 is the default version and
provides the shared librariers to the system (such libmysqlclient.so).

When I try to build against this mysql, make test fails with "... symbol
mysql_real_escape_string: referenced symbol not found ..."

I did some digging, and it appears that mysql_real_escape_string was not
added until 3.23.15:

http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/40663

What is the minimum version of mysql to successfully build DBD-mysql
2.9004? Is this information contained in the documentation anywhere? I
have not found it.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
Ryan

I suspect that you need 4.0 or 4.1. I have compiled 2.9004 against 4.1.

A couple months ago, I tried to build DBD-mysql 2.9004 against MySQL
3.23.58, which is the highest released 3.x version, and it failed
with missing symbol
errors.

It would be *really nice* if MySQL AB will release a 3.23.59 some
time, which among other things adds the symbol that the latest
DBD-mysql requires. Since 3.23.x is "still supported".
