Net::LDAPapi is still important since it seems to PerLDAP was what Net::LDAPapi was renamed to when Netscape took over maintaining the module. That was several years ago, Clayton should probably remove Net::LDAPapi from CPAN. PerLDAP is now maintained by the mozilla project. > be the only module to currently support kerberized ldap binds. Not true and Net::LDAPapi only support krb4 which is not reccomendes. LDAPv3 introduced SASL and with Authen::SASL Net::LDAP can authenticate using the cyrus SASL library. Although this will be with krb5. Support for krb4 was dropped from LDAP when LDAPv3 was spec'd Graham. > Net::LDAPapi does not work with perl5.6.1 and I have some patches to fix > this.
