RE: User password changing

[Lambright, L. (N-Averstar) <lin...@lm...>]

When I execute the code below I receive this error message, does anyone have
any ideas as to what's causing this?  I took this code almost completely out
of 
one of Graham Barr's emails.

usage: $fh->bind(NAME) or $fh->bind(PORT, ADDR) at ./perlpwchange line 6


#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Net::LDAP;

$ldap = new Net::LDAP('122.197.44.555');

$ldap->bind (
               dn          => 'uid=kbosworth, ou=People, o=linda.lmco.com',
               password => 'oldpassword'
            ) || die $@;

 $ldap->modify ('uid=kbosworth,ou=People,o=linda.lmco.com',
                 replace=>{'userpassword'=> "newpassword"})
                 || "failed to edit entry. $!";

$ldap->unbind;
