( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I've had a script using Net::LDAP running against OpenLDAP since late September with no issues to date (*knocks on wooden head for luck*). I had more an issue with the learning curve for dealing with LDAP than with the module, since I was learning LDAP as I went from the docs for Net::LDAP and the section on LDAP from O'Reilly's Perl for System Administration (with a question or two in here as well, if memory serves).

I'll leave this with a piece of advice that may prove helpful: use callback routines if you do searches, especially if you do ones that could potentially return a large amount of data. I uhhh... (*looks down sadly*) kind of ran a machine out of both physical memory and swap more than once before I found out about that because of a query that returned several hundred thousand records (*sheepish grimace*).

I wish you the best of luck with the process, and hope you might consider letting us know how it goes (if you have the opportunity).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
