Am I missing something really obvious?

PERL code:
my $errorMsg = $ldaps->bind ( "cn=crappy code" ) ;
print "dn: " . $errorMsg->dn . "\n" ;
print "error: " . $errorMsg->error . "\n" ;
print "done: " . $errorMsg->done . "\n" ;
print "is_error: " . $errorMsg->is_error . "\n" ;


PERL output:
dn:
error: Success
done: 1
is_error: 0

Is it reporting sucess because it was able to 'fallback and rebind'?
If so how do I get the failure of the initial bind?
