>Description:
When you have both openldap and perldap installed, you end up with two
different and incompatible libldap's. As a result, perldap fails
because it is using the wrong one.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install the following ports:
ldapsdk-1998.12.31  Mozilla LDAP sdk
openldap-1.2.11     Open source LDAP client and server software
perldap-1.4         Perl interface to LDAP

Now run this test program:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mozilla::LDAP::Conn;
exit;

gives the following error:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/auto/Mozilla/LDAP/API/API.so: Undefined symbol "ldap_set_option"

unless you run it as

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla/directory/lib ./test.pl

Also see:

# ldconfig -r | grep ldap
        108:-lldap.1 => /usr/local/lib/libldap.so.1
        237:-lldap.1 => /usr/local/mozilla/directory/lib/libldap.so.1

>Fix:
Erm, statically link perldap against ldapsdk?
Or modify perldap to use openldap's libraries instead?

Both are hacks. Better to rename one of the libldap's to something else.
