Very nice!

I'm guessing this is the MacPorts location, and someone from that
other tribe that uses Brew can eventually post a patch to make this
look in more places.

+my $ldap_port = int(rand() * 16384) + 49152;

Hmm.  I guess ldapi (Unix domain sockets) would be less roulette-like,
but require client side support too.

Here's a change I needed to make to run this here.  It seems that to
use "database mdb" I'd need to add a config line to tell it the path
to load back_mdb.so from.  I could have done, but I noticed that if I
tell it to use raw ldif files instead it's happy.  Does this still
work for you on the systems you tested?
