Any part of this release could be subject to change. The development of the distribution is discussed on a mailing list at perl-ldap@perl.org To subscribe send an empty email to perl-ldap-subscribe@perl.org ******************************************************************************* For the latest information see http://ldap.perl.org/ QUICK START GUIDE: perl-ldap uses the following modules/distributions. MIME::Base64 - required, core module since Perl 5.7.3 Convert::ASN1 - required IO::Socket::SSL - optional, for LDAPS / start_tls support IO::Socket::INET6 - optional, for IPv6 support IO::Socket::IP - optional, for IPv6 support Authen::SASL - optional, for SASL authentication Digest::MD5 - optional, for SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism GSSAPI - optional, for SASL GSSAPI mechanism URI::ldap - optional, for URL parsing XML::SAX::Writer - optional, for Net::LDAP::DSML Time::Local - optional, for Net::LDAP::Util's time conversion functions If IO::Socket::IP 0.20 or higher is installed, it is dynamically (at runtime) preferred over IO::Socket::INET6. First ensure the above modules/distributions are installed then build/test/install Net::LDAP by doing perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Several modules in the distribution contain documentation. Once installed you can use the 'perldoc Net::LDAP' command to obtain the documentation. This documentation will contain pointers to the other modules. ******************************************************************************* NOTE: Everything that has been deprecated will be removed when V1.00 is released, but who knows when that will be. ******************************************************************************* Share and Enjoy!
