Unfortunately it's the one availble from CPAN and I would just
like to see it fixed. Thank you for the pointer to Patrick's
module, I am trying to get to a configuration where I can use
his code.

I understand that you aren't responsible for any of these tools and I
do appreciate your help and suggestions. I am still debugging the
problem on my end with your comments as my guide. If I find that the
problems are OS related I will work with RedHat to get the appropriate
updates made if possible.

I will try going directly with the cyrus-sasl distribution instead of
the RedHat provided RPMS.

I have never really suspected Net::LDAP had a problem. Net::LDAP has
always been rock solid for me in every regard. The problems I have
experienced have only been with SASL/GSSAPI auth used in conjuction
with Net::LDAP.

Understood. I was making my query of Graham and Mark and thought it
was best for the purposes of discussion to be at the current revs for
debugging purposes.

I am trying to get a configuration together using Patrick's code. I
don't doubt that it works, I just need to puzzle together all the
right bits.

My apologies Quanah, I did not mean to give you any offense. You
have been very helpful and I appreciate it.
My intent was to get Graham and Mark talking about the problem and
provide them with a testbed environment. It would be nice if
all of this "just worked" using the CPAN modules.
If I don't hear anything from Graham or Mark about pursuing a fix
I will simply return to lurking and trying to fix my configuration
using Patrick's module.
My sincerest apologies Quanah.
