QUICK START GUIDE:

   perl-ldap uses the following modules/distributions.

       MIME::Base64      - required, core module since Perl 5.7.3
       Convert::ASN1     - required
       IO::Socket::SSL   - optional, for LDAPS / start_tls support
       IO::Socket::INET6 - optional, for IPv6 support
       IO::Socket::IP    - optional, for IPv6 support
       Authen::SASL      - optional, for SASL authentication
       Digest::MD5       - optional, for SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism
       GSSAPI            - optional, for SASL GSSAPI mechanism
       URI::ldap         - optional, for URL parsing
       XML::SAX::Writer  - optional, for Net::LDAP::DSML
       Time::Local       - optional, for Net::LDAP::Util's time conversion functions

   If IO::Socket::IP 0.20 or higher is installed, it is dynamically (at runtime)
   preferred over IO::Socket::INET6.

   First ensure the above modules/distributions are installed then
   build/test/install Net::LDAP by doing

       perl Makefile.PL
       make
       make test
       make install

   Several modules in the distribution contain documentation. Once installed
   you can use the 'perldoc Net::LDAP' command to obtain the documentation.
   This documentation will contain pointers to the other modules.
