why would i think to look at the docs for last major release? i'll take a look at them.

I know, sounds strange, seems the 1.3 docs have a lot of detailed info not in the 2.0 docs.

do i need to install the perl ldap libs for a windows install?

Probably, that's a question for a Windows user though. I Installed it on Debian. Good luck!

thanks, deno
