I'm having trouble getting my perl to connect to my openldap server.

My code is running on a RedHat Enterpise 6 machine that has openssl 1.0 installed.

Here's my connect code:

$ldap = Net::LDAPS->new(
    $server,
    port=>636,
    verify=>'require',
    capath=>'/path/here/ssl/cacerts/'
  ) or die("$@");

And here's the error I'm getting:

IO::Socket::SSL: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown errorerror:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed at LDAP.pm line 28, <DATA> line 522.

(LDAP.pm is an LDAP utility module that I wrote for internal use.)

One final bit of information: if I use the ldapsearch command line tool, I can connect to the server just fine.

I'm beating my head against my wall, and I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thanks!
