I think that another way to state what Graham is saying is
that you now need to connect via SASL/GSSAPI
with the following snippet.
my $ldap = new Net::LDAP($hosturl);
$ldap || die "Can't connect to LDAP server $hosturl";
my $sasl = new Authen::SASL(mechanism => 'GSSAPI', callback => { });
$sasl || die "Can't create sasl object";
my $mesg;
if ( $ldap->VERSION lt '0.37') {
$mesg = $ldap->bind('', sasl => $sasl);
} else ( $ldap->VERSION gt '0.39') {
$mesg = $ldap->bind('', sasl => $sasl->client_new('ldap',
$ldap->{net_ldap_host}));
}
I am a believer of examples over text.
Of course there is more than one way to do it.

a change in what can be passed as sasl to bind was done to help this
sasl => SASLOBJ
Bind using a SASL mechanism. The argument given should be a sub-class of
Authen::SASL or an Authen::SASL client connection by
calling client_new on an Authen::SASL object.
If passed an Authen::SASL object then client_new will be called to create a
client connection object. The hostname passed by
Net::LDAP to client_new is the result of calling peerhost on the socket. If
this is not correct for your environment, consider
calling client_new and passing the client connection object.
so instead of passing the Authen::SASL object itself, which Net::LDAP then
decides the peerhost, you can call client_new on that
sasl object and pass the client connection object. this gives you full control
over the per hostname used in the sasl connection.
Graham.
