LDAP is easy, especially after you realize all the hierarchical tree
stuff is really just being stored in hash tables anyway.

A lesser-known activity Mozilla.org is the Netscape Directory SDK,
found here:

http://www.mozilla.org/directory/

Part of the Directory SDK is PerLDAP, Perl wrapper modules around the
SDK's C library.  The Directory SDK has the virtue of connecting to
LDAP via SSL/TLS (if you used Netscape's prebuilt library) and the vice
of not including the SSL code in the Netscape Public Licensed source
(it was published before US export liberalization).

I used this with success on a project 2 years ago; unfortunately, it
doesn't appear to have been updated much since then.  I merely mention
it in the interests of completeness and discussion, and because I
suddenly felt the need to waste time and bandwidth.  :-)
