That's my problem then.
Is there a way to check for bind failure?
Yes, see Net::LDAP::Message and Net::LDAP::Constant docs
the bind will fail, but the server will allow requests to continue as
if the bind had not happened. ie it will treat the connection as
anonymous

to continue to search and return attributes that an anonymous bind

I'm using ldaps and when I try to bind to a made up FqDN the

Presently I'm binding with:
$ldaps->bind ("totalBSDN=screwDodge") or die("could not bind");
Net::LDAP methods return Net::LDAP::Message objects, not true/false

Whoops! ;-)
Does the bind fallback to anonymous mode if it fails? or does it not
bother authenticating until a process requriing more privs is
needed?
The current operation I'm testing (search) can be done with
anonymous
bind just fine.
