Linux 2.2.14-5.0smp/RH 6.2/Perl 5.005_03 Net::LDAPS trouble

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

This isn't REALLY a Net::LDAP problem (the problem is down in
IO::Socket::SSL and SSLeay), but the support for these modules seems to be
near-zero, and I figure that someone who's working on Net::LDAP should
have seen this before.

More notes are at the bottom.

Checking for OpenSSL-0.9.3a or newer...
You have OpenSSL-0.9.6 installed in /usr/local/ssl
That's is newer than what this module was tested with (0.9.3a). You should
consider checking if there is a newer release of this module
available. Everything will probably work OK, though.
Checking if your kit is complete...

[root@foobar IO-Socket-SSL-0.75]# 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I compiled and installed OpenSSL-0.9.6 (as the build data below
indicates).  Because I suspected that this was the source of our problems,
I downgraded to OpenSSL-0.9.3a.  No change whatsoever.

Has anyone seen this problem before?  Is there a workaround?  I have seen
some mention on the mailing list about StartTLS (which seems to be another
way of getting from a to b), but I'm not clear as to how to code
for this.  Both the documentation and the Net::LDAP code seem to be mute
on the subject.

Best Regards,

j.
