Can someone help me determine were I'm going wrong with this install. I'm trying to install this module on perl 5.8.3 O/S Solaris 9 (2.9). TIA!

      That patch is broken. You need to do s/NA/na/g to get it to apply properly. This will work:

    Thanks for the information, I downloaded the patch, but have another question. Where do I find information on how to apply this patch?
[reply]

      The patch itself is broken and needs s/NA/na/g to work. Either do that in your favourite editor or with perl -pi -e 's/NA/na/g' patch.1 or use the patched patch above. You apply it using patch(1) 

      [root@devel3 perldap-1.4]# patch -l -i patch.1
patching file typemap
patching file API.xs
[root@devel3 perldap-1.4]#

        Thank you all for the help on this. I was able to patch, make and install this module. Note: I had to use the ldapsdk3.0E libraries instead of the 4.1E libraries, since I continued to get errors on the make. Again thank you.

      You use the patch program. If you had scrolled down on the same page you got the patch you'd have seen

This patch needs s/NA/na/g to work properly. Apply like this if you
don't know already.

# patch -l -i patch.1
patching file typemap
patching file API.xs

      update: Didn't notice the date (Wed Jul 7 23:59:21 2004 ) on that comment, I guess it wasn't there before. Good work tachyon.
