OK did you mean like this:

I did following but it wont work.

my($ldap) = Net::LDAP->new('127.0.0.1')
my($mesg) = $ldap->search(filter => '(objectclass=domain)');
foreach $entry ($mesg->all_entries)
{
my $en_dn = $entry->dn();
}
But nothing is get printed. : (
will Please go through this code and tell me what I am missing from
code point of view.

Thanks,
