I have expierienced this kind of hanging, due to wrong UTF-8-encoding
of the ldap-protokoll.
This results in the situation, that both sides think, the other side
should send some bytes.
Try to set the unicode/utf8-bit in perl on the variables $user and $pwd !

Hi Graham,
I am using the Net LDAP module and am having a problem when an ldap
server is not responding. The connection seems ok, it comes back, but
the server was having problems, and subsequently my client was
binding succesfully. The bind is attempted and it never comes back
from it - ie it sits on the bind call indefinitely. Any ideas on this
? I reproduced this when the servers were back up by changing ldaps
to ldap - which resulted in a connection but no bind. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. Thanks.
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new ( "ldaps://someserver.net",
port => 636,
version => 3,
debug=>"Y",
timeout=>5 );
if ($ldap) {
$mesg = $ldap->bind ( $user, password=>$pwd );
