Re: Access via Perl w/GSSAPI and SASL 2

["Kervin L. Pierre" <kervin@blueprint-tech.com>]

I needed something like this earlier.  I ended up modifying PerLDAP ( 
http://perldap.org/ ) to compile against OpenLDAP and to add some of the 
OpenLDAP only API eg. ldap_initialize() .  At least at the time PerLDAP 
did not support those.  The project is at http://ldapperl.sf.net/

The project is basically a thin PERL embed layer ( as thin as possible ) 
to wrap the OpenLDAP calls, as close as possible in the PERL language.

I think its a good idea for OpenLDAP to have at least one of those.

I've been using it in production for a while now, no issues, but I did 
not add the OpenLDAP specific API functions that I did not need.  I was 
on a tight schedule.  Currently it's all in CVS.

There maybe something else out there, I don't know.  But if you want to 
give it a go, feel free to drop me a line.
