Hello Everyone,
I have uploaded the latest version of the Net::LDAPapi module to PAUSE
and my web page,
http://miso.wwa.com/~donley/.
This module allows users to manipulate and search an LDAP enabled
directory from Perl. The module is written mostly in C and has been
tested on various flavors of Unix with excellent results. The latest
versions also support NT.
Version 1.40 contains major enchancements, including Perl-OO methods for
all the major API functions. There are also a number of major bug
fixes.
Special thanks to everyone who contributed bug reports, fixes, and ideas
for improvement.
Please send any questions, comments, or bug reports to '
[email protected]',
as well as the Perl newsgroups.
Clayton

Changes Since Last Announced Version
====================================
1.40 Wed Jan 21 11:12:24 CST 1998
- I never did include the new version of web500.pl that supports
Add functionality. It did exist, and I've included it with this
release.
- There was a bug when adding or modifying a record where the value
was set to be an integer. The bug has probably existed since a very
old version of the module. It has now been fixed.
- Fix to internal rebind process for Netscape API users provided by
Rob Weltman <
[email protected]> of Netscape.

- Wow, what hasn't changed in this version...
- Removed the extra 'free' in ldap_get_dn that was submitted as
a fix to a memory leak. The fix seems to give inconsistent results
on different platforms and APIs.
- Added Perl-OO methods for virtually all API calls. The C style
API calls still work, and will work in all future versions.
Note that I haven't added named arguments yet, so argument order
matters. This should be in the next version.
- Manpages completely rewritten. Please send me any errors or typos.
- All examples except the two web ones have been rewritten to run under
'use Strict'.
- Test program and all examples except web500.pl have been rewritten
to use Perl-OO methods. Might need to clean-up comments and code
after so many rewrites.
- Minor bugfixes to web500.pl
