I have searched for the error message in question.
The only place this string appears is in IO::Socket::INET,
which IIRC is the base class of IO::Socket::SSL.
The code leading to the error message in IO::Socket::INET
is expecting the protocol being numeric. In your case it isn't
and so the code throws the error you notice.
I cannot tell exactly where the problem is, but the text string
'tcp' for the protocol provided by Net::LDAPS is converted to
the appropriate protocol number in normal ("healthy") enviroments.
I don't know if it is done in the Perl environment itself or using
the system's name service switch facilities.
Here are a few hints to search further
- Do you have a file /etc/protocols
- What does the command 'getent protocols tcp' produce ?
In any case I am convinced the error has nothing to do with NetLDAP.
Hope it helps
Peter
