Hello Malka, I do extensive perl programming for cgi scripts and other applications all using LDAP. You need 2 packages. - Mozilla::LDAP which you can get on http://mozilla.org/directory They call it PerlLDAP - LDAPSDK. I'm using the iPlanet Ldap SDK. It can be found at http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/developer/
PerlLDAP his all different then DBI. Good luck!
