Bad file descriptor error with Net::LDAPS.

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I am getting Bad file descriptor error with below code for Net::LADPS.

use warnings;
use strict;
use Net::LDAPS;

my $ldaps = Net::LDAPS->new( 'ldap server',
    port => '636',
    verify => 'require',
    cafile => 'C:/certicate.cer'
) or die $!; #note i have used .pem too here but failing with the same
+ "Bad file descriptor error" 
                             
print "\nLDAPS ::: $ldaps\n";

Note : I am working on strawberry perl version (v5.32.1)

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I haven't used Net::LDAPS previously, so I looked at its doco. It has two examples with `capath`; `cafile` doesn't appear anywhere. Try `s/cafile/capath/`. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you for the reply Net::LDAPS seems inherit methods from Net::LDAP module which has cafile method. Thank you	[reply]

`or die $!` The official documentation at Net::LDAP shows this `$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( 'ldap.example.com' ) or die "$@";` You may be seeing a stale message left in `$!`, unless you are sure you saw using `$!` with said module somewhere. wild guess: probably one of the myriad of problems that can be unleashed from Microsoft HQ onto hopeful yet unsuspected windows users. bw, bliako	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you for the reply. Even die "$@" throws the same error "Bad file descriptor at .pl line 5, <DATA> line 960." Regards	[reply]

What's `'ldap server'`???? Isn't that supposed to be a hostname or an IP? I get `Name or service not known at xx.pl line 5, <DATA> line 960.`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
