Quanah, I would love to be able to try this new perl module in our OpenLdap environment. Unfortunately, it does not have a StartTLS method. Our server requires 'security tls=128' for connections. Are there any plans to add such a method to the package? We currently use the perlldap module which does have this capability and it works well for us (albeit a little slow). A faster C SDK module would be much appreciated here.
