Thanks for your suggestion Corion -- here are the results: 
camel@camelbox:~$ cat ldaptest.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::LDAP;

my $host = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx';
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( $host  )
      or die "LDAP connect failed for: " . $host;

my $mesg = $ldap->bind(
    "cn=Test User,ou=user,ou=accounts,ou=our,dc=our,dc=domain,dc=com" 
+,
    password => 'password',
);
warn "LDAP response when binding: " . $mesg->error;

my $srch = $ldap->search( base   => "c=US",     # perform a search
                       filter => "(&(sn=Barr)(o=Texas Instruments))"
                     );
camel@camelbox:~$ perl ldaptest.pl
LDAP response when binding: Success at ldaptest.pl line 13, <DATA> lin
+e 755.
camel@camelbox:~$

So it does perform a successful bind.
