Yes.

You should really try to install perl-ldap correctly, ie using the command
line:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make install

You *might* have to use the same make program that was used when building
your perl, especially on Windows.

If you don't have the right sort of make or otherwise want to live
dangerously ;-) just copy the contents of the lib directory into an
appropriate perl library directory. This is described in the INSTALL
document in the perl-ldap distribution.

Cheers,
