This is good news! Clayton Donley’s Net-LDAPapi version 2.00 2.01 has been released, and it is available here. Net-LDAPapi is very much faster than Perl-LDAP (Net::LDAP). Quanah Gibson-Mount of Symas added support for the OpenLDAP SDK. There is a small omission in the generated Makefile (after the ubiquitous perl Makefile.PL and before the make): the libraries for the linker are missing. Fix that by adding -lldap -llber to it. (thanks to Howard Chu for opening my eyes). ;-)
