Re: GSSAPI/Kerberos binds with Net::LDAP

[Graham B. <gb...@po...>]

The Net::LDAP distribution is completely perl, so I would not want to
add and XS to it. But I would consider making changes so that it could
be used but distribued separately.

As for Authen::SASL, I am in the process of giving this an overhaul,
but again I want it to remain mainly perl only. But I would be happy
to talk to you about it.

I was planning to move Authen::SASL out of the Net::LDAP dist and into
its own anyway.
