Re: getting multi-valued attribute?

You have to call the attribute in an array context, like this

@values = $entry->get_value('attributename');

where 'attributename', is the name of a multi-valued attribute, like
'telephonenumber'.

Then iterate over the array to pull out the values, eg:

$value(@values) {

     print "attributename", $value, "\n":

}

There are better examples given in the FAQ,
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net/LDAP/FAQ.pod, and
