I've been following this thread as I'm having the same problem with

I'm running NetBSD -current with perl 5.6.1.  We're also seeing the 
same problem with
perl 5.8. on Debian Linux kernel 2.4.21.072103.  I've upgraded 
Net::LDAP to 0.30,
but the problem still exists.  I added the warn function and i get:

'81' at ./nis2ldap line 150.
Please re-try with version 0.31 which was released on Jan 1. You can 
get it from
  http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-ldap/
Nope this did not work either :(.  Our script had no problem working 
with version 0.25.

$VERSION        = 0.25;
@ISA            = qw(Net::LDAP::Extra);
$LDAP_VERSION   = 2;      # default LDAP protocol version
with the following function

sub ldap_connect{
    my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldaphost,version => 3) or die $!;
    $ldap->start_tls(verify => 'none');
    $ldap->bind($ldapbinddn, password => $ldappass);
    return $ldap;
}
Well there is very little error checking in there :)

But where exactly is it failing ? What method is returning that '81' 
value ?

The more detail you can give, the more likely we are to find the issue.


However my script works if I do

my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldaphost,version => 2)

but fails if we use the default version => 3.
Just saying something fails, is less than helpful. How does it fail ? 
Where does it fail ?
