Eyck has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm looking for apps using Net::LDAP or Mozilla::LDAP module, but I'm having no luck in finding them.

Particularily, I would like to find LDAP Browser/Editor, because it seems like the only passable I could find is written in java, and not very free.

In general I find it difficult to locate apps using module I'm going to use, working, well-tested apps would server as an ideal example of correct usage.

update Great tip: "use Net::LDAP" "use strict", thnx halley, congratz on your 777th

    One trick is to simply use Google to find likely source code snippets. I searched Google with the following query:
    "use strict" "use Mozilla::LDAP"
    I don't know much about the module itself, but it seems these are not just trivial examples, and may give you a leg up on how to use them yourself, if you don't find an app that fills your requirements.

    Update: this was my 777th writeup.

    Not directly related to the title (which was already answered), but if you're looking for an LDAP Browser other than the java one (and there is an earlier version that was free, when it was still a student project, but I don't remember what the version number on it was), when I used to do LDAP development, I used ldapsh, which admittedly, is written in C.

    There's another program, also called ldapsh, which is written in Perl, but I have no experience with it.
