You shouldn't be doing it that way. If you know exactly what you are doing and
you are copying from one solaris system to another (or if your extensions do not
require any .so files) you can sometimes get away with this. However,
Mozilla::LDAP uses .so files so you will have to install Mozilla::LDAP on your
system by obtaining the source and following the installation instructions
(probably 'perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install').
The first step ("perl Makefile.PL") sets up your makefile so that the "make
install" will know where your perl expects your .pm files to be. If you have
multiple versions of perl on that system then you should replace "perl" with the
absolute path to the version you'd like to use to run your script.
Note that you won't be able to install Mozilla::LDAP (aka perldap) unless you
have libldapxx.so available on that system, which means you may need to install
the ldap SDK for C/C++.
You should also install any other modules your script needs. You can find them
at search.cpan.org.
Good luck,
