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

I'm trying to implement a simple LDAP auth for my CGI script. I'd like to use something equivalent to this php code: 
<?php

// using ldap bind
$ldaprdn  = 'username@mydomain.COM';     // ldap rdn or dn
$ldappass = 'mypassword';  // associated password

// connect to ldap server
$ldapconn = ldap_connect("LDAP IP")
    or die("Could not connect to LDAP server.");

if ($ldapconn) {

    // binding to ldap server
    $ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldaprdn, $ldappass);

    // verify binding
    if ($ldapbind) {
        echo "LDAP bind successful...";
    } else {
        echo "LDAP bind failed...";
    }

}

?>

    Did you google it? That brings up Net::LDAP, which is fairly actively developed and has lots of good reviews. The documentation begins with some example code:

    use Net::LDAP;
 
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( 'ldap.bigfoot.com' ) or die "$@";

$mesg = $ldap->bind( 'cn=root, o=University of Michigan, c=us',
                     password => 'secret'
                   );
