Maintain your own CPAN with CPAN::Mini

If you wish to have a portable, off-line CPAN mirror, or wish to maintain the state of CPAN exactly as it was at a particular date, then ``CPAN::Mini'' is the way to go:

cpanmini -l ~/local-cpan \
-r http://search.cpan.org/CPAN

We can even use this with ``cpanm'':

cpanm --mirror ~/local-cpan --mirror-only Test::Most

``cpanmini'' only includes the most recent versions of the CPAN modules
(rather than their whole history) and as a consequence is only a few
Gigabytes big.

Net::LDAP made ldap interaction easy

Net::LDAP module by Graham Barr made Perl interaction with LDAP server very easy. This module is rated 4 stars as some folks feel this module is little slow. I would definitely rate 5 star for this module.

This module can be used to build tools to convert directory data to other format such as csv. This can also be used to convert ldif data to other system format.

Review for this module is available in cpanratings.perl.org

Module can be downloded from cpan

There is a pretty good document on how to use Net::LDAP in perlmonks
