That would indicate that Net::LDAP isn't totally broken.

'dpkg -s libnet-ldap-perl' is the command to check what you have installed.

Are you aware that Debian Squeeze is not a released version?
5.0 (Lenny) was released in February. 'Squeeze' is the current testing version.

That's probably not the problem then.

Googling shows one other report of this issue:

 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.ldap/2009/02/msg3071.html

which is on FreeBSD, Perl 5.8.9, Net::LDAP 0.39.

Assuming you've restarted smokeping after upgrading libnet-ldap-perl,
I'm pretty short on further ideas. Sorry. Maybe downgrading to
libnet-ldap-perl 1:0.36-1 from Lenny would help.
