It worked out of the box with Perl 5.005_03 on a (reasonably) vanilla
Solaris 8 system.

Possibly newer versions of Perl have problems?

On a related note, I think it would be good to extend the interface
presented by the glue code to allow the backend to return arbitrary
LDAP result code to the client, not just LDAP_SUCCESS or
LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR.
