=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Net::LDAPI;

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

# alternate way
 use Net::LDAP;

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

=head1 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 C<Net::LDAP> methods can be used with a C<Net::LDAPI>
object; see L<Net::LDAP> for details.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=over 4

=item 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 C<LDAPI_SOCK> is evaluated,
and if that does not exist, the value C</var/run/ldapi> is used.

See L<Net::LDAP/new> for further details.
