need help with perl-ldap 0.24 on NT over Cygwin

[Marshall.Andrew <Mar...@ca...>]

Howdy.  I am trying to use perl-ldap 0.24 to connect to a
Netscape Directory server running on a different system
and I can't get it to work.
When I run this script:

<script>
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::LDAP qw(:all);
use Net::LDAP::Util qw(ldap_error_text
                         ldap_error_name
                         ldap_error_desc
                        );
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new("172.16.17.150", debug => 12) or die "$@";
print STDERR "before bind.";
$mesg = $ldap->bind();
die "Error ",ldap_error_name($mesg->code) if $mesg->code;
print STDERR "bind okay.";
$mesg = $ldap->search (
               base   => "ou=People,o=Canada Trust,c=ca",
                        filter => "(uid=Marshall.Andrew)"
                );
die "Error ",ldap_error_name($mesg->code) if $mesg->code;
$mesg->code && die $mesg->error;
$ldap->unbind;
</script>

Here's what I see:
<script log>
$ perl test1.pl
before bind.Net::LDAP=HASH(0xa011250) sending:
0000 30   12: SEQUENCE {
0002 02    1:   INTEGER = 1
0005 60    7:   [APPLICATION 0] {
0007 02    1:     INTEGER = 2
000A 04    0:     STRING = ''
000C 80    0:     [CONTEXT 0]
000E        :   }
000E        : }
Error LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR at test1.pl line 11.
</script log>

I can connect to the directory server just fine using Netscape's
ldapsearch tool.
I am running the Cygwin Unix tools on top of Windows NT 4.
The version of Perl I'm using is the latest one pointed to from
www.cygwin.com.  Here's what Perl tells me about itself:

I suspect I should be using a different Perl implementation or there's
something wrong with how I installed it (please be kind, I'm a Perl novice).
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
