Have to use DEBUG 1 to make Net::LDAPS work??

[dennis]

I have a password reset app written in perl; it uses CGI.pm and Net::LDAP
with %args and settings for talking to Sun ONE LDAP over SSL.

When I set debug => '1' in %args, he binds ok, performs search, finds
entry, modifies password, and displays the appropriate next page -- albeit 
with lots of debug messages. But when I set debug => '0', the bind works but 
remaining ops fail, and I get Server Error (see error log)

#------------ web server log --------------------------------------

Has anyone seen this problem? Know of a fix? I've put connection code at end. 
If anyone would like to see fuller code, I put link on web site:
