SUSE packages of recent OpenLDAP versions are avaiable here:
http://en.opensuse.org/OpenLDAP 
There is a back-perl subpackage available as well (but as Quanah already 
mentioned back-perl is experimental and more or less unmaintained currently). 
The packages have module support and pproxy is included.

Btw, this might also be worth a look:
