=head1 SYNOPSIS


 
 use ResourcePool::Resource::Net::LDAP;
 
 my $resource = ResourcePool::Resource::Net::LDAP->new(
                   $factory,
                   $hostname,

=head1 DESCRIPTION


This class is used by the L<ResourcePool|ResourcePool> internally to create L<Net::LDAP|Net::LDAP> connections. Its called by the corresponding L<ResourcePool::Factory::Net::LDAP|ResourcePool::Factory::Net::LDAP> object which passes the parameters needed to establish the L<Net::LDAP|Net::LDAP> connection.

The only thing which has to been known by an application developer about this class is the implementation of the L<precheck()|/precheck> and L<postcheck()|/postcheck> methods:

=head2 S<$resource-E<gt>precheck>

Performs a bind(), either anonymous or with dn and password (depends on the arguments to L<ResourcePool::Factory::Net::LDAP|ResourcePool::Factory::Net::LDAP>).

B<Returns:> Returns true on success and false if the bind failed (regardless of the reason)

=head2 S<$resource-E<gt>postcheck>

Does not implement any postcheck().

B<Returns:> always true
