Andrew,

That would be great.  Like I said, the scripts are really just
"proof of concept".  I wanted to stick them in CVS in hopes
that someone like yourself would make them more production ready.

If you want to convert to the Net::LDAP module, feel free.  I'll
check the new code into CVS.  I would like to keep the PerLDAP
scripts just as an example.

Thanks.





cheers, jerry
