I'm trying to upgrade DBD::mysql and having trouble with the anonymous user for the test database. When I run the install the tests fail with messages like:

DBI connect('test','',...) failed: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) at t/50chopblanks.t line 57

Did you set the username and password when you ran Makefile.PL?

No. I should have mentioned that I'm using CPANPLUS for the install so there's no opportunity to interact. If I run the tests manually, I can edit mysql.mtest to the user 'test' that I added, but I don't understand why the default CPAN installation isn't working. I thought it was all supposed to default to the anonymous user?

Thanks, Dave
