.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Communicate using the \s-1LDAP\s0 protocol to a directory server using a \s-1UNIX\s0
domain socket. This mechanism is non-standard, UNIX-specific and not
widely supported.
.PP
All the normal \f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAP\*(C'\fR methods can be used with a \f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAPI\*(C'\fR
object; see Net::LDAP for details.
.SH "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IP "new ( [\s-1SOCKPATH\s0] )" 4
.IX Item "new ( [SOCKPATH] )"
Create a new connection. \s-1SOCKPATH\s0 can optionally be specified, to
specify the location of the \s-1UNIX\s0 domain socket to connect to.
.Sp
If \s-1SOCKPATH\s0 is not given, the environment variable \f(CW\*(C`LDAPI_SOCK\*(C'\fR is evaluated,
and if that does not exist, the value \f(CW\*(C`/var/run/ldapi\*(C'\fR is used.
.Sp
See \*(L"new\*(R" in Net::LDAP for further details.
