problems with Net::LDAP 0.16 on solaris

[Steve H. <ste...@ex...>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with Net::LDAP 0.16 on Solaris (SunOS box 5.7
Generic_106541-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10). It appears to compile
fine, but I can't get the test suite to pass.

I did some experimenting and got this (sorry about the hideous test command!):

bash$ perl5.00503 -Iblib/lib -MNet::LDAP -MNet::LDAP::Util -MNet::LDAP::LDIF -e '$ldap = Net::LDAP->new(q[ldap0.london.excite.com], debug => 3); $br = $ldap->bind; $br->code && die q[bind: ].Net::LDAP::Util::ldap_error_text($br->code); $sr = $ldap->search(filter => q[(uid=shaslam)], base => q[ou=People,o=Excite,c=GB], attrs => [qw(cn)]); $sr->code && die q[search: ].Net::LDAP::Util::ldap_error_text($sr->code); $count = $sr->count; print qq[$sr, $count results\n]; $ldif = new Net::LDAP::LDIF(\*STDOUT, q[w]); $ldif->write($sr->entries)'
Net::LDAP=HASH(0xc0a44) sending:

30 0C 02 01 01 60 07 02 01 02 04 00 80 00 __ __ 0....`........

bind: Server encountered an internal error

ldap0.london.excite.com is running OpenLDAP 1.2.10

Similarly, when I try to run t/50populate, I get:

1..44
ok 1
#1
not ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
#1

which afaict means essentially the same thing.

I get just the same results with Perl 5.6.0 as with 5.00503. Net::LDAP
0.13 works fine.

On my Linux machine (Linux hell 2.2.14 #1-DellLatCPi Sun Mar 19
17:26:31 GMT 2000 i686 unknown) the same command gives:

Net::LDAP=HASH(0x80cb8fc) received:

30 0C 02 01 01 61 07 0A 01 00 04 00 04 00 __ __ 0....a........

Net::LDAP=HASH(0x80cb8fc) sending:

[more stuff...]

instead of the bind error.

Has anyone else had this? I don't know enough about the innards of
Net::LDAP to know precisely where to look, but it returning an
internal server error before receiving any data suggests there's a
problem in the receiver select() loop?
