Net::LDAPI - use LDAP over a UNIX domain socket
use Net::LDAPI; $ldapi = Net::LDAPI->new('/var/run/ldapi'); # alternate way use Net::LDAP; $ldapi = Net::LDAP->new('ldapi://');
Communicate using the LDAP protocol to a directory server using a UNIX domain socket. This mechanism is non-standard, UNIX-specific and not widely supported.
All the normal
Net::LDAP methods can be used with a
Net::LDAPI object; see Net::LDAP for details.
Create a new connection. SOCKPATH can optionally be specified, to specify the location of the UNIX domain socket to connect to.
If SOCKPATH is not given, the environment variable
LDAPI_SOCK is evaluated, and if that does not exist, the value
/var/run/ldapi is used.
See "new" in Net::LDAP for further details.
