NAME
    Net::LDAPI - use LDAP over a UNIX domain socket

SYNOPSIS
     use Net::LDAPI;

     $ldapi = Net::LDAPI->new('/var/run/ldapi');

     # alternate way
     use Net::LDAP;

     $ldapi = Net::LDAP->new('ldapi://');

DESCRIPTION
    Communicate using the LDAP protocol to a directory server using a UNIX domain socket. This
    mechanism is non-standard, UNIX-specific and not widely supported.

    All the normal "Net::LDAP" methods can be used with a "Net::LDAPI" object; see Net::LDAP for
    details.

CONSTRUCTOR
    new ( [SOCKPATH] )
        Create a new connection. SOCKPATH can optionally be specified, to specify the location of
        the UNIX domain socket to connect to.

        If SOCKPATH is not given, the environment variable "LDAPI_SOCK" is evaluated, and if that
        does not exist, the value "/var/run/ldapi" is used.

        See "new" in Net::LDAP for further details.

SEE ALSO
    Net::LDAP, IO::Socket::UNIX
