I'm having trouble with a Net::LDAPS bind operation. I'm able to use this dn when doing ldap searches 
ldapsearch -b "ou=mail aliases,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -D cn=manager,dc=my
+domain,dc=com -w 'ch@t!!' "uid=rjm"

I had this Net::LDAPS bind using CGI params 
#this bind worked
#$message = $ldap->bind( $entry->dn(), password => "${password}" );

[download]

but I want to change it to hardcode the dn and password 

#this bind works, I'm using my personal account and password
#$message = $ldap->bind( 'uid=rjm,ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=com', passw
+ord => 'mypass' );

#I'm having trouble binding as manager.  Is the syntax correct?  This 
+gives me $message->code == LDAP_INVALID_CREDENTIALS
$message = $ldap->bind( 'cn=manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com', password => '
+ch\@t!!' ); #\ before @ ok?

if ( $message->code == LDAP_INVALID_CREDENTIALS ) {
    print_form("Invalid username or password.");
    exit(0);
}
if ( $message->is_error() ) {
    die( $message->error() );
}

Am I doing something wrong with the third bind attempt? thanks.

Update:Thanks, this is an stunnel related problem.
