I spoke directly with many people from o'reilly and while some thought
there was a book in progress, none knew of it's current status. Apparently
they have started LDAP books before, but for some reason they were not finished.

Well I got a copy of the book given to me by the author :)

The book contains a very small appendix called something like "A 10 minute
intro to LDAP" but it does not say much. There is also a chapter in the book
about LDAP, which shows how to do things with both Net::LDAP and
Mozilla::LDAP. The chapter tries to be a comparrison of the two, although
I think it is a little unfair in places. But hey, the author asked me to
review the chapter and get back to him, so the next edition may well be different.
