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.
I hate to sound critical, but...
Who's responsible for the "object oriented" interface? It bugs me when a package claims to have an OO interface, yet there's no use of OO concepts in the interface. It took me a while to convince myself that the values returned by first_entry and next_entry aren't actually objects on which I would then use the get_values method.
I'd rather just use the non-OO interface since it wouldn't mislead me into expecting OO behavior. I assume that still works even though it's no longer documented. Do I just stick "ldap_" on the front of all the method names?
