PerLDAP (Mozilla::LDAP::Conn / Mozilla::LDAP::API)

[David J Radunz <da...@staff.netspace.net.au>]

Hey Guys,

	Sorry to bother you all, I have been trying to work this out for the
last 3 days and I really have no idea how to solve it. Originally we
were using Net::LDAP, but decided it was too slow - and after profiling
it we discovered the main flaw was its text parsing (taking 60% of the
time). Anyway, we then found PerLDAP (www.perldap.org) and benchmarked
it against Net::LDAP - the result was that PerLDAP was 10 times faster.
It took me ages to get Mozilla::LDAP::Conn installed (on Solaris 5.9) -
the C-SDK wasnt easily installed from CVS - but the one from the tar.gz
(which is older) installed fine.. however I was only able to get
Mozilla::LDAP 1.5 to compile against it 1.4 didnt compile.

	Cutting to the chase (aka what this all has to do with mod_perl)...
The module works fine under standard perl / apache - but under mod_perl
it will not connect to ldap, it returns the error code 81 (translated -
LDAP server has gone away).

My questions are:

a) Does anyone have experience installing PerLDAP ?
b) Does anyone know how I can debug the C module under mod_perl to find
out what is happening?

Thanks so much - sorry for being long winded ;)

David

What seems to be the problem? e.g. take a look at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/devel/debug/c.html#Debug_notes
