Re: Compiling Net::LDAPapi

["Charles N. Owens" <owensc@enc.edu>]

The successor to Net::LDAPapi is Mozilla's PerLDAP (see http://www.perldap.org).
Net::LDAPapi is no longer being developed.  I've used Net::LDAPapi in the distant
past (with OpenLDAP 1.1 or something)... I don't know if it will still build with
the newer OpenLDAP releases.

PerLDAP [which is pretty dandy], however, adds the complexity that it needs the
Mozilla LDAP C-SDK (basicly Mozilla's version of the ldap and lber libraries).  If
you're doing your devel work on the same system where you have the OpenLDAP
libraries installed you may run into a library name conflict (depending, perhaps, on
your OS platform).

The solution I'm using to this with FreeBSD is to rename the Mozilla libraries to
mozldap and mozlber and doing minor tweaks to PerLDAP itself so it compiles against
the newly named libraries.  The affected FreeBSD ports (.../net/perldap and
.../net/ldapsdk) will, I believe, be updated shortly along these lines.
