I don't see that error in the perldoc.  According to the limited
information I have, error 49 is a bad username or password.  I"m
trying to figure out if the leading underscore is that culprit because
if I do a search for "___________ldapmonitor_test" it works just as
well as "ldamonitor_test".  I"m wondering If I should ask admin to
remove leading underscore or if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

I don't think it has anything to do with capath because I can connect
and search the tree.  The error is authenticating on the bind.
