You could start with something like this:
use vars qw($ldap);
$ldap ||= Net::LDAP->new('ldap.bigfoot.com');
Eventually you might want to make a separate subroutine (or maybe a
singleton class) that grabs the cached connection from a global, pings it
to see if it's still good, and replaces it if it fails to ping before
handing it back to the caller.
