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.
