That sounds unlikely - the server's already sent you one response followed
by something that can't be decoded by Net::LDAP, hence the internal error
from Net::LDAP. See the man page for Net::LDAP::Constant. If you can turn
up debugging to print out the packets perl is getting back, this should
help find the problem.

Add:

	$ldap->debug(2); # man Net::LDAP for more details

before issuing your search, and send us the resulting output.
