Comment (by pbennett):

 I am getting the same result. No matter what I try it is only using the
 first 4 digits of the IPV6 address. This is supposed to work, as per
 http://search.cpan.org/~michielb/DBD-mysql-4.043/lib/DBD/mysql.pm. I did
 also try changing the colon before host= to a semicolon in conformance
 with that page, but the result is the same. Perhaps we have an outdated
 mysql perl interface library somewhere. As per
 [http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=890934] this was fixed in 2011.
