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

I haven't had the opportunity to use Net::LDAP yet, so I will comment on the rest of the code.

Instead of printing line by line, why not use a here-doc for your usage message? Or use Pod::Usage and document your script in POD.

The following might make your defaults stand out more:

my ($user, $pass); my $host = 'yourserver.yourdomain.com'; my $port = 389; my $debug = 0; GetOptions( 'h=s' => \$host, 'p=s' => \$port, 'u=s' => \$user, 'w=s' => \$pass, 'd+' => \$debug, 'q' => \&usage );

Often, things like if ($debug ne 0) { ... } are better written as if ($debug) { ... }.

I would write debug and status messages to STDERR instead of STDOUT and include $0 (or similar) in error messages.

Hope this helps.

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.
