Perl extension for LDAP access via an SQL/Perl DBI interface

 DBD::LDAP is a DBI extension module adding an SQL database interface to
 standard LDAP databases to Perl's database-independent database interface.
 You will need access to an existing LDAP database or set up your own using
 an LDAP server, ie. "OpenLDAP", see (http://www.openldap.org).
 .
 The main advantage of DBD::LDAP is the ability to query LDAP databases via
 standard SQL queries in leu of cryptic LDAP "filters". LDAP is optimized for
 quick lookup of existing data, but DBD::LDAP does support entry inserts,
 updates, and deletes with commit/rollback via the standard SQL commands!
