I play with ldap servers and use Net::LDAP, it is fairly simple to use and has sound documentation. There is a Mozilla::LDAP module that you can use, I stay away from it due to the fact that you need to Netscape SDK to make it run.
An ldap directory is very efficient for large amounts of relatively static information. It is optimized for frequent reads, and infrequent writes. Typically it is used for information such as enterprise/academic directories, where the information does not change all that frequently.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
