Good day all,

I have been banging my head on this problem for some time now, have searched the Internet for solutions but I can find nothing so I turn to you, who know all (well, most) concerning Perl.

I have a list of IP addresses, @mynets, and I want to store them in an LDAP database using the Net::LDAP module. The attribute that this list will be stored in is a binary one as the contents of the attribute are downloaded to a flat file by a different tool.

How do I add/update a binary value with the contents of a list using Net::LDAP? I have tried: 

    $result = $ldap->add( "cn=mynetworks,$ldapFileDN",
    attrs => [
        'fileStore' => [ @mynets ],
        'homeDirectory'   => '/etc/postfix'
    ] );

[download]
but it fails as it thinks I am trying to add multiple values to 'filestore'.

Any ideas or suggestions as to other ways to do it?
