[Shain M. <sm...@tv...>]

Hi all,
I am almost finished in my quest to authenticate with perl-ldap...one 
last question...how can I tell if the ldap->bind failed or not.
Thanks

Doesn't anyone read the docs anymore?  :)

All LDAP operations in Net::LDAP return a Net::LDAP::Message object.
Inside this object is a result code.
If the result code is not 0 then there has been an error (except for
compare which expects 5 & 6 as True & False). You can use something like
this:
die("bind failed with ",$mesg->code(),"\n") if $mesg->code();

if you read the docs for Net::LDAP::Util you'll see how to get a human
readable string from such an error code.
