I have ever posted a question concerning searching speed to perl-ldap-dev. The suggestions I received were to use async mode rather than sync mode. Just saw an article lately concerning how CLDAP is good at improving performance. Does Net::LDAP have anything to do with CLDAP? Or there is an separate module for taking care of CLDAP operations? We are using MessagingDirect directory server R5.0 on IRIX. Sorry if this question is off topic. Thanks, Bing Bing Du <bi...@ta..., 979-845-9577> Texas A&M University, CIS, Operating Systems, Unix |

It only has a search operation and search result, so there's no authentication or modification etc. It can be an extremely useful protocol though in situations where you want *lots* of really simple lookups. Think of it like using DNS. Mail routing via the directory is the reason why CLDAP was invented. Net::LDAP does not currently support CLDAP. Do you fancy adding support for it? The encoding/decoding part is trivial. The more interesting part is the different I/O. I know that all releases of the MessagingDirect software support CLDAP ;-) but do any other servers?

It could either be by a sub-class, Net::CLDAP, or maybe an option to ->new If anyone wants to have a go, then go right ahead.
