I have spent a week trying to search Active Directory via Net::LDAP. I finally found the xray mailing list (geo crawler does not seem to have information for this year?) via your CPAN information. I have spent all day reading posts (many of them yours), which has led me to believe that I need to use Simon' s module (perl-cyrus-sasl-0.02.tar.gz) to use GSSAPI to bind to AD. I am going to start down this path, but I realize that many people are trying to do this. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a decent howto on it. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction? Also, I saw the post (http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl-ldap/2003-01/msg00116.html) that suggested putting Active Directory info in your Net:LDAP book. I would buy it if it contained this information, especially the hard to track down authentication piece. Several people at my company have been trying to do this (AD via perl). Thank you for all your work, Ben Cann
