Knut:

 I got "$ldap = new Net::LDAP" working.
It is working with
1)     slapd -f /opt/openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -h
ldap://0.0.0.0:3890/
        $ldap = new Net::LDAP('0.0.0.0', port => 3890);
2)  slapd -f /opt/openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -h
ldap://192.014.61.84:3890/
        $ldap = new Net::LDAP('192.104.61.84', port => 3890);

Somehow it didnot work with port 389.

Thanks a lot,
