Net::LDAP is going to default to connect to /var/run/ldapi if that is  
not where your socket is
the you can either set $ENV{LDAPI_SOCK} or put the path in the uri  
passed.

ldapi: uri's are strange that the path to the socket needs to be  
encoded as the hostname, for
example the uri to specify "/var/run/ldapi" is ldapi://%26var%26run 
%26ldapi/
