Introduction

LDAP is the de-facto Internet directory standard, supported by companies such as Sun, Microsoft, IBM and Novell. LDAP is an integral part of Internet platform offerings like Sun ONE, Microsoft Exchange, and many others.

The perl-ldap distribution is a collection of perl modules which provide an object orientated interface to LDAP servers.

The perl-ldap distribution has several advantages over other LDAP interfaces for perl:

By using the perl object interface the perl-ldap modules provide programmers with an interface which allows complex searches of LDAP directories with only a small amount of code.

All the perl-ldap modules are written entirely in perl, which means that the library is truly cross-platform compatible. No C or XS extensions are used so no C compiler is needed to install the modules. No other LDAP libraries (eg libldap) are required.

It is being actively developed.

Distribution

The latest stable release of the library is perl-ldap-0.68 .
