RTFP ;-)

=item new ( HOST, OPTIONS )

C<HOST> may also be a reference to an array of hosts, host-port pairs
or URIs to try. Each will be tried in order until a connection is
made. Only when all have failed will the result of C<undef> be
returned.

So try:

    Net::LDAP->new(\@hosts, port => 389)

There are a number of other documented ways to call the constructor which
you might find more useful.
