Bug #93618 for perl-ldap: perl-ldap .58

Subject:	perl-ldap .58

Using ActiveState Active Perl: This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Simple Net::LDAP queries where working fine with .58. After upgrading the perl-ldap to .59, all bind attempts failed with Bad file descriptor errors. I eventually narrowed the issue down to IO::Socket::INET6. Ponce I uninstalled this module from my systems Net::LDAP queries began working again. Explicitly enabling inet4 and disabling inet6 in the bind command made no difference: inet4 => 'Y', inet6 => 'N') ; Disabling IPv6 from the OS (Windows 8.1) also made no difference. Since I have great need for the Net::LDAP module and no current needs for INET6, this is an acceptable workaround for me at this time.

thanks for the bug report, but i will reject it as a duplicate of RT#93122. None of the code in perl-ldap that might be related to the symptoms you experienced was changed between 0.58 and 0.59. I am sure you updated Strawberry Perl to one of the critical versions that broke this. In the future, to help maintainers, please check existing bug reports before opening a new one. Best Peter

The reason I reported this was it was Activestate ActivePerl, not Strawberry. It was working fine the under .58 and stopped immediately after the upgrade to .59. I'm not saying that .59 contains the issue - it could be a support library in use by .59 - I'm not in a position to say one way or the other. Just running the flag up the pole in case it can assist. Thanks for taking time to look at the report.
