Net::LDAP::Server provides the protocol handling for an LDAP server. You can subclass it and implement the methods you need. Then you just instantiate your subclass and call its C<handle> method to establish a connection with the client.

Net::LDAP::Server requires Net::LDAP and Convert::ASN1.

Net::LDAP::Server may be installed through the CPAN shell in the usual manner. Typically:

$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::LDAP::Server'

You can also read this README from the CPAN shell:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> readme Net::LDAP::Server

And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well:

cpan> install Net::LDAP::Server

This module may also be installed manually. Its distribution is available from the author's CPAN directory, <ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/A/AA/AAR/>, or a similarly named directory at your favorite CPAN mirror.

Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left as exercises for the reader. To build and test it:

perl Makefile.PL
make test

When you're ready to install the component:

make install

It should now be ready to use.

Thanks for reading!
