Bind Problem Net Ldap

Hi,

         I
am trying to use NET::LDAP module to connect to AD/LDAP server. The webserver
is IPlanet and the machine is solaris.
I am able to bind to the LDAP server
successfully with plain text as password.
$ldap->bind ( dn => 'username',
       password => 'password' );

But when it has special character
like &, $, ? etc the bind is failing. Can I request you to guide me
in getting a solution for this.

Regards,
Narendra
