I know very little perl, so I'm unsure of the syntax for single,
double or no quotes for variables:
Test 1:
Either $userldapentry->exists("$uid_field"); or
$userldapentry->exists($uid_field);
Global symbol "$uid_field" requires explicit package name at
/home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm line 168, <DATA> line 253
Test 2:
$userldapentry->exists('$uid_field');
Can't call method "exists" on an undefined value at
/home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm line 168, <DATA> line 253.
