If by that you want Net::LDAP::bind to compute password hashes for you when
you're doing a simple bind, then no.

This is quite straightforward to do yourself using existing CPAN modules,
for instance using SHA1 passwords:

-----
use Digest::SHA1 qw(sha1_base64);
use Net::LDAP;

my $ldap = new Net::LDAP('ldap.example.com', version => 3);
my $res = $ldap->bind('cn=Some Person, o=example.com',
                      password => '{sha}' . sha1_base64('some password'));
