Re: NET::LDAP Search Works, pop_entry problematic #2

Hello Graham, 



Can you expand your helpful suggestions a bit. I've tried these without success. How can the code below be modified to make $entry->dn work? Thanks very much. 








$ldap->search(...) will return a Net::LDAP::Search object, not a DN as you seem to be expecting.
You can tell this from the way in which perl string-ifies the object to "Net::LDAP::Search=HASH(0x1844ba4)"

$entry = $dn->pop_entry; will given you the first entry in the result set as a Net::LDAP::Entry obejct,
or undef of there were no objects found.

$entry->dn would then give you the DN of that entry.

Hope this helps.

Graham.
