I concur, but I am pretty sure the error is not in perl-ldap. perl-ldap is just one of the victims of a break between some versions of ActiveState / Strawberry Perl / IO::Socket::INET6. What versions of * perl-ldap * IO::Socket::INET6 are you using? Instead of removing IPv6 support (this is what happens if you rename/remove IO::Socket::INET6), you may try the following: * install IO::Socket::IP * install latest perl-ldap Recent perl-ldap versions prefer IO::Socket::IP over IO::Socket::INET6 when the former one is installed. If IO::Socket::IP does not suffer the problems that recent versions of IO::Socket::INET6 seem to have in Windows, then everything should work as before including IPv6 support.
