The latest version of PerLDAP

Hi,

PerLDAP, is built around OpenLDAP, which is a directory on the computer that runs client / server model. It contains information of any kind which is arranged hierarchically.

To understand the concept, it is often compared to Yellowpages, where the reader is looking for a particular phone number. It will first select the profession, then city, then the entry's name to find the final number. In practice it is used to store a large amount of users or services (sometimes hundreds of thousands) in a computer network.

It allows users to organize hierarchically by department, by location or by any other criterion. This is a free alternative to Microsoft Active Directory.

You can download the latest version of PerLDAP at:

Thank you.

The latest version of PerLDAP

PerLDAP 1.0 was released on the Mozilla website, where Mozilla Firefox can be officially downloaded, in August of 1998. It is written and maintained by a small group of people, namely: Leif Hedstrom, Michelle Hedstrom, Kevin McCarthy, and Clayton Donley. PerLDAP, Perl-LDAP, is made up of two main components to write LDAP clients: An interface to the C SDK API, and a set of Object Oriented Perl classes.
