You should check the result of the bind operation to see whether it
succeeded.

It looks to me like you're binding with a different DN in the
ldapsearch call vs. the perl call.

It looks like you have a different version of ldapsearch than I do,
which does not have -x or -W options, and -L is documented as "print
in LDIF format" which can be accomplished on the perl side with
Net::LDAP::LDIF.

unsupported extension

[D.Kreft]

So I'm busily working away making "optimizations"  to my code, but now when
I try to start_tls(), I get the dreaded "unsupported extended operation"
error. I googled for "Net::LDAP 'unsupported extended operation'" and
saw a reply from Chris Ridd
(http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/3482/2002/11/0/10134629/), but it
isn't help in my situation.

Could someone give me a brief synopsis of the possible scenarios that would
cause start_tls() to bomb like this?

Thanks, in advance.
