Are you sure you are using the proper module (Net::LDAP)

The following script works fine for me.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::LDAP;

use constant HOST => 'ldap.whatever.domain'; use constant BASE => 'ou=People,dc=whatever,dc=domain';

{ print "Searching database... "; my $name = shift || die "Usage: $0 filter\n"; my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( HOST, onerror => 'die' ) || die "Cannot connect: $@"; $ldap->bind() or die "Cannot bind: $@"; my $msg = $ldap->search( base => BASE, filter => "(|(sn=*$name*)(givenName=*$name*))" ); ... ... }
