Quanah,
I would love to be able to try this new perl module in our OpenLdap
environment. Unfortunately, it does not have a StartTLS method.
Our server requires 'security tls=128' for connections. Are there
any plans to add such a method to the package?
We currently use the perlldap module which does have this capability
and it works well for us (albeit a little slow). A faster C SDK module
would be much appreciated here.
Thanks,
Jim Schultz

A new release of Net::LDAPapi module is now available for Perl via
CPAN.
This release includes compilation against OpenLDAP libraries from version
2.1 forward. It now supports LDAPv3, including SASL binds.
Support for the Netscape (now Mozilla) C SDK has been kept, but not tested.
I welcome feedback on the usability with the Mozilla C SDK.
Many thanks to Howard Chu and Symas Corporation for the work done to
realize LDAPv3 support with Net::LDAPapi.
Net::LDAPapi can be obtained from:

http://search.cpan.org/~mishikal/Net-LDAPapi-2.00/>
For those who have never used Net::LDAPapi, it uses the C interface for its
LDAP operations. This means that it is much faster than the pure perl
Net::LDAP module from the perl-ldap package. However, it also relies on
having the C libraries it was linked against available.
