In the immortal words of Quanah Gibson-Mount:
According to the Net::LDAP documentation:
new ( HOST, OPTIONS )
HOST may also be a reference to an array of hosts, host-port pairs or
URIs to try. Each will be tried in order until a connection is made.
Only when all have failed will the result of undef be returned.

$ldap_url = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
print "LDAP URL is now $ldap_url\n";
$ldap=Net::LDAP->new("$ldap_url");
Should be checking that $ldap is defined here to avoid the error ;)
Yeah, but first I want things to just work. :P
LDAP URL is now ARRAY(0x1a3752c0)
And since you're passing an array referenced *interpolated into a
string*, this will fail unless your LDAP server's hostname happens to
be "ARRAY(0x1a3752c0)".

References can be created in several ways.
1. .
By using the backslash operator on a variable, subroutine, or value.
(This works much like the & (address-of) operator in C.) Note that this
typically creates ANOTHER reference to a variable, because there's already
a reference to the variable in the symbol table. But the symbol table
reference might go away, and you'll still have the reference that the
backslash returned. Here are some examples:
$scalarref = \$foo;
$arrayref = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$hashref = \%ENV;
$coderef = \&handler;
$globref = \*foo;
I submit it is a reference to an array, at least according to the
documentation from the Perl website.
In any case, if I change the code to be a pure reference, I still get the
same problem:
$ldap=Net::LDAP->new("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
Now, if I switch back to just a single URI, things work just fine:
LDAP URL is ldap://freelancer.lab.zimbra.com:389
Why this prints a string instead of the ARRAY(xxx) I can't figure out.
Because I commented the array bits out and just left it a plain string on a
single value. ;)
