The mysql client code already contains everything needed for the patch and this has been tested with the mysql clients and perl a long time now. The only 'big' change is to add 2 more arguments to p_connect(). It should be very easy to make this completely safe in all cases when one only uses the normal 2 arguments to p_connect(); In other words, this should not break old code..
