Viruses on your PC? I have a windows xp box at home, and I am running Norton AntiVirus. No problems with viruses. Not that they havent "knocked at my door." It's just that Norton does a good job of keeping them out. I'm going to switch to AVG free edition when my Norton Subscription runs out.
So make sure you have a Virus scanner running, your OS updated with all the latest critical patches, and a firewall running.

EXAMPLE USAGE
Apple Open Directory

host => 'od.company.com',
basedn => 'cn=users,dc=company,dc=com',
filter => '(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s))'
);
Microsoft Active Directory
my $ldap = Authen::Simple::LDAP->new(
host => 'ad.company.com',
binddn => 'proxyuser@company.com',
bindpw => 'secret',
basedn => 'cn=users,dc=company,dc=com',
filter => '(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%s))'
);
Active Directory by default does not allow anonymous binds. It's recommended that a proxy user is used that has sufficient rights to search
the desired tree and attributes.
