Well it was originally called perl-ldap because it contains more than
Net::LDAP::*. Although this is slowly changing, Authen::SASL will soon be
moved into a separate distribution.

But it was Netscape who annoyed my by calling thiers perldap, as perl-ldap
had already existed for a long-ish time.

I also like to think that it has become known as perl-ldap, so I am
reluctant to change it now.

No, it's just my spelling :)

Graham.

PS: We probably should start thinking of removing some of the methods that
have been deprecated for a long time.
