Perl-LDAP problem

[Kevin K. <kev...@ua...>]

Hello!

Having just recently installed Perl-LDAP as a replacement for Mozilla's
Perldap, I've been trying to run the simplest of queries to see if it works.
Here's what I do:



!/usr/local/bin/perl

use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Util qw( ldap_error_name
                        ldap_error_text) ;


$ldap = Net::LDAP->new('smtp.srv.ualberta.ca',port=>1389) or die "$@";
$ldap->bind( dn => 'cn=manager, dc=ualberta, dc=ca',
             password => 'NotVerySecret');

$mesg = $ldap->search(base => "dc=ualberta,dc=ca", filter =>
"(uid=dummyuser)");

if ($mesg->code) {
        LDAPerror("Searching",$mesg);
}

foreach $entry ($mesg->all_entries) {
        $entry->dump;
}




The output of this program is:

Return code: 1  Message: LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR :Server encountered an
internal error

When we sniff the packets going back and forth we can see that slapd is
returning a result, but perl-ldap doesn't seem to handle it.  Am I doing
something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance
