Authenticating with Cyrus SASL

[Joshua J. E. <jj...@sa...>]

Environment:
perl-ldap-0.26
Authen-SASL-2.02
cyrus-sasl-2.1.7

I am trying to write some perl scripts to manipulate data in my LDAP
directory that authenticates with Cyrus SASL (DIGEST-MD5).  Nothing I'm
trying seems to work though.  When I try to run my program I get:

No SASL mechanism found
 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Authen/SASL.pm line 62


When I try the EXTERNAL mechanism I get:

SASL(-4): no mechanism available: External SSF not good enough


I've tried installing Authen-SASL-Cyrus-0.05, but it will not even
compile and doesn't seem to support libsasl2.  I've hacked it out enough
to make it compile, but I get a segfault when running.  I think it just
won't work with sasl2.

Has anyone gotten authentication to work with Cyrus SASL and libsasl2? 
Is anything obviously wrong?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::LDAP;
use Authen::SASL;
#use Authen::SASL::Cyrus;

# Initiate LDAP session
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new('ldapserver', onerror => 'die');
$sasl = Authen::SASL->new(
                          mechanism => 'DIGEST-MD5',
                          callback => {
                                       pass => \&fetch_password,
                                       user => $user,
                                      }
                         );

#$conn = $sasl->client_new('ldap', 'ldapserver');
