    Have a look at Net::LDAP. The code will look something like:

    use strict;
use Net::LDAP;
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldaphost);

my $result = $ldap->search( base=>$groupdn,filter=>'(objectclass=*)',a
+ttrs=>['member']);

if ($result->code)
{
  print $result->error."\n";
  exit 1;
}

my $entry = $result->entry;
my @members = $entry->get('member');

    Update: added an error check.

    Use Net::LDAP to do a search for all the member attritubes in the group. That should get you started well enough.

    You could have also typed 'LDAP' in the search box and clicked search ;-)
