What do I use for the callback function in Net::LDAP::Control::Paged?

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

I'm trying to move from an LDAP server which allowed huge queries to an AD server that limits me to a thousand records, and Net::LDAP::Control::Paged looks like the tool I need. But I can't for the life of me understand what the callback function is supposed to be.

They laughed at Joan of Arc, but she went right ahead and built it. --Gracie Allen

You've not said what you want to do with each of the results you're paging through. For example to print the `DN` for each result: `sub process_entry { my ($message, $entry) = @_; return unless $entry; say $entry->dn; $message->pop_entry; }` [download] See Using the callback subroutine approach from Net::LDAP::FAQ.

Thanks so much! Now I understand--and thanks also for the link to the FAQ. They laughed at Joan of Arc, but she went right ahead and built it. --Gracie Allen	[reply]
