A bit of explaination would have been nice :/
After some bouncing of ideas on IRC, it appears the bug is really in
Net-LDAP, but only lemonldap-ng's test suite manages to trigger it.
The read-only value in question is $_, which is aliased to a constant.
Thanks to the world-dominating search engine, we have found this

In essence, this doesn't work:
perl -we'for(1,2) { require Net::LDAP }'
How lemonldap-ng's test suite manages to alias $_ to a constant is not
yet known, but the details are not important. The above code sould
work even if it looks weird.
My proposal is to patch Constants.pm to use
local $_;
while(<DATA>) { ... }
instead of
while(<DATA>) { ... }
Any objections?
