Hi,

I'm unable to set up a back-perl backend directly in cn=config mode. However, if
I set it up in slapd.conf mode, and then convert it to cn=config mode, it works
fine. It's not convenient, because I have to set all my perl backends up before
converting to cn=config.

Here's the ldif file I'm using to set up a back-perl backend in cn=config mode
(it's inspired from the files I get by converting slapd.conf into cn=config with
slaptest)

# Load dynamic backend modules
dn: cn=module,cn=config
objectClass: olcModuleList
cn: module
olcModulepath: /usr/local/libexec/openldap
olcModuleload: back_perl.la

# Database settings
dn: olcDatabase=perl,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
objectClass: olcDbPerlConfig
olcDatabase: perl
olcSuffix: dc=mydomain,dc=org
olcAddContentAcl: FALSE
olcLastMod: TRUE
olcMaxDerefDepth: 15
olcReadOnly: FALSE
olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=org
olcRootPW:: c2VjcmV0
olcSyncUseSubentry: FALSE
olcMonitoring: FALSE
olcPerlModulePath: /usr/local/etc/openldap/perl
olcPerlModule: SampleLDAP
olcPerlFilterSearchResults: FALSE


And here's what I get when I try to load the file:
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f perl-backend.ldif
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
adding new entry "cn=module,cn=config"
adding new entry "olcDatabase=perl,cn=config"
ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

After that, if I start OpenLDAP I get a segmentation fault:
root@ldap:/tmp# /usr/local/libexec/slapd -u openldap -g openldap -h "ldap:///
ldapi:///" -d 16383
?.
51585496 perl backend db init
Segmentation fault

Like I said, if I set back-perl up in slapd.conf mode and then convert it to
cn=config, everything works fine.
