I really wish Net::LDAP would just go away and die. People should be using 
Mozilla::LDAP (or Net::LDAPapi), particularly when they're doing timing 
measurements. I guess as a monitoring device to say "is it alive" it's not 
too crucial, but you have to realize that when it says it measures the 
response time of the LDAP server, 99% of the measured time is actually perl 
execution, and only 1% is actual network+LDAP time. (That's not an 
exaggeration; there is a clear 100:1 difference in execution time between 
Net::LDAP and Mozilla::LDAP / Net::LDAPapi.)
