Well, depends on what you consider to be a "yike". If the user sticks with
the old method, and the server is not ready, it will yike with a nice little
$@ message. However, if the user passes a reference and none of the servers
are ready, then it will yike with an ugly "Internal Server Error" and they
will have to look in the apache log to get the specifics of why.
The problem lies in this little line of code that is encapsulated in a
foreach loop:
$LDAP = Net::LDAP->new($Host) or next;
Normally it would be ... or die ... but I can't do that. If an LDAP server
is not availabe and I tell it to die, then none of the other servers in the
array get looked at. Is there are way to tell the foreach loop to die with
a message only if none of the servers in the array are available? I have
thought about this, but probably not hard enough because I don't know the
answer right now.

Oh man. Now you are talking way over my head. To be honest, perl is the
only programming language I know and I've only been doing that less than a
year. Trying to throw in source code management, linux, and the rest on top
of it is a struggle for me. I never even realized that source code
management existed until I posted to the thread about how to maintain
changes in my files. I looked at CVS but it seemed to make absolutely no
sense to me. I have managed to get a copy of Subversion running and
understand the basics, but have not yet even attempted merging or wholesale
distribution upgrades yet. Got any advice for me? In the meantime I will
see what I can learn about merging and see if I can fill your request.
