That error *suggests* that the server is not willing to accept simple binds
using a password sent to it in the clear, which is what you are trying to
do.

Instead, your server may require that you have a 'confidential' connection,
perhaps one over SSL, eg LDAPS (supported in Net::LDAPS), or TLS (not yet
supported by Net::LDAP.)

Alternatively, you might be able to use SASL to negotiate such a
connection. I'm not sure the SASL mechanisms available in perl (read
perldoc Authen::SASL) can negotiate these, but Graham will know for sure.

Requiring a confidential connection would appear to be a feature of the way
your server's been set up; perhaps you could clarify this with the manager
of the server?

Cheers,
