Similar error to that described by Glen Tanner a few weeks ago. Recently installed a new PC with updated version of Perl::
D:\temp>perl -v This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread [...] Binary build 1603 [296746] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com Built Mar 13 2013 13:31:10 A Perl Net::LDAP application that binds to Active Directory failed with error messages like these: Return code: 82 Error code: Bad file descriptor Error name: LDAP_LOCAL_ERROR Error text: An error occurred in C<Net::LDAP> The error can be reproduced with this code: #=============== use Net::LDAP; use strict; my $filter = "cn=$target\x2a"; my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new ($lhost, onerror => "die"); my $bindmesg = $ldap->bind($luser,password=>$lpass); my $searchresult = $ldap->search( base=>$lbase, filter=>$filter, attrs=>["dn"]); #=============== Which on older Perls finds the DNs of all AD users with names starting with string $target, but fails on current version of Perl. ($lbase = Root path of AD directory, $lhost = AD directory server hostname, $luser = DN of known user, $lpass = that users password) Following some hints on other mailing lists referring to Strawberry Perl rather than ActiveState, I renamed C:\Perl64\site\lib\IO\Socket\INET6.pm and it worked. So somewhere there is a bug. -- Ken Brown
