Thank you for the reply.. I found the problem... and I created it.. I was disconnecting from the LDAP connection any time I received an error condition back in my error checking and reporting method. However this is not the behavior I want all as I do expect some "not found" results which are returned as errors so I was creating the condition myself. Fixed it... and I'm glad that I did not have to dig into the IO::Socket because that's where I was heading next.

Not one directly that I can think of, but if you grab the socket using $ldap->socket() there may be some IO::Socket methods you can use on it.
