This has nothing to to with OpenLDAP.

>From perl, you fird get an LDAP object:

	my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($uri->as_string);

then bind:

	my $mesg = $ldap->bind($bindDN, password=> $passwd);

then search:

	$mesg = $ldap->search( @search_args );

once the bind has completed, nothing retains that information; it
was only needed to bind.

I have no idea what the architecture of your project is, but you'd
be better off asking on one of the perl lists to work this stuff out.
