perlknight has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

All, I am doing a search with base name of an object which only has attribute. The count method returns 0, I am calling attributes and dn method, it's bomming out with the following error:
Can't call method "dn" on an undefined value at ./query_ldap2.pl line +83, <DATA> line 283.
} elsif ( $result->count() eq 0 ) { my $entry = $result->entry(0); print "********",$entry->dn(),"*********\n"; + #my @pattrs = $entry->attributes; #print "******** @pattrs **********\n"; } else {
Any idea as to why? Thanks.

    There are no entries (count = 0), so why would you expect to get an entry from entry()?

    By the way, use == (not eq) for numerical comparisons.
