I really wish Net::LDAP would just go away and die. People should be using Mozilla::LDAP (or Net::LDAPapi), particularly when they're doing timing measurements. I guess as a monitoring device to say "is it alive" it's not too crucial, but you have to realize that when it says it measures the response time of the LDAP server, 99% of the measured time is actually perl execution, and only 1% is actual network+LDAP time. (That's not an exaggeration; there is a clear 100:1 difference in execution time between Net::LDAP and Mozilla::LDAP / Net::LDAPapi.)
Still, a pure Perl solution is nice from an integration perspective. Is either Mozilla::LDAP or Net::LDAPapi shipped with a popular Linux distribution today ? In an application like Cacti, the service response time measurement is really aimed at detecting an overloaded service (hence requests queue and response time becomes very high). So I'm not sure a few ms matters one way or the other. btw I'd vote for more effort put in to making the Python LDAP support better and more widely distributed -- Perl itself is evil (IMHO of course). -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
