Well, I don't know about Net::LDAP::new handling failover, but I do it
myself by using a fairly short timeout:

  unless ( $ldaps =
Net::LDAPS->new($ldapserverone,port=>636,timeout=>5) ) {
    $ldaps = Net::LDAPS->new($ldapservertwo,port=>636,timeout=>20)
        || return "Can't connect to $ldapserverone or $ldapservertwo
via LDAPS: $@";
  }

This works well for me.....
