I've had a script using Net::LDAP running against OpenLDAP since late September with no issues to date (*knocks on wooden head for luck*). I had more an issue with the learning curve for dealing with LDAP than with the module, since I was learning LDAP as I went from the docs for Net::LDAP and the section on LDAP from O'Reilly's Perl for System Administration (with a question or two in here as well, if memory serves).
I'll leave this with a piece of advice that may prove helpful: use callback routines if you do searches, especially if you do ones that could potentially return a large amount of data. I uhhh... (*looks down sadly*) kind of ran a machine out of both physical memory and swap more than once before I found out about that because of a query that returned several hundred thousand records (*sheepish grimace*).
I wish you the best of luck with the process, and hope you might consider letting us know how it goes (if you have the opportunity).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
