DBD::mysql have released new version (5.001) on Oct 4, 2023. This version removes support for MySQL 5 -
https://metacpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/changes
Hence we need to use lower version than that.
Use case
Using DBAdaptors to connect to Ensembl databases which use MySQL version 5
Possible Drawbacks
Should be changed back if anytime in the future Ensembl database servers upgraded to MySQL 8x.
Testing
Unit test should pass on this PR
