Re: Newbie Trying to Take First Step

Mark and Pythagoras - Many thanks for the help!


It's now looking as though your suspicions are correct and there's 
something "odd" about the LDAP server which I'm trying to connect to. 
Some things want to connect to it, some things don't.

I repointed my code to ldap.bigfoot.com and it worked fine, so I at 
least know that perl-ldap has installed and runs OK on my Digital 
Unix box.

Further testing is leading me to agree with this.

I haven't been able to find out yet, it came with our new PABX system 
and was installed by the phone company. I do know that it isn't one 
of the usual suspects (Netscape, Innosoft).

I've done the upgrade to perl-ldap-0.18 (with Convert-ASN1-0.06), 
however the debug code is generating:
  syntax error at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Convert/ASN1/Debug.pm line 175


All the Best,
