Just for reference: it's in SVN since August 2004 ;-) Since there were some posts about documentation on the ML recently maybe Graham should cut a new release of * perl-ldap * Authen-SASL Although the changes since the previous releases are not very lanrge they might fix a few border cases and improve documentation.
