Hi monks, I'm working on a CGI program with Net::LDAP to update an OpenLDAP addressbook. I'm not an LDAP expert by any means but I worked with the command line tools so I would understand the basics. I'm having a repeated problem at first I thought I just didn't get it but I keep running into the same error with different chunks of Perl code. 
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "$ldap_svr" ) or die "$@";
    my $search = $ldap->bind;
    $search = $ldap->search( 
                base=> "$base",
                filter=>"mail=$name_email"
                );

    my $max = $search->count;
    
    for ( my $index = 0; $index < $max ; $index++ ) {
        my $entry = $search->entry($index);
        my $dn = $entry->dn;
        
        my @attrs = $entry->attributes;
        foreach my $var (@attrs) {
            my $attr = $entry->get_value( $var, asref => 1 );
            if ( defined($attr) ) {
                foreach my $value ( @$attr ) {
                    print h2("$var: $value"),p;
                }
            }
        }
    }    
    $search= $ldap->unbind;

I get the error:
Can't call method "count" without a package or object reference at c:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\apache\cgi-bin\PROCES~2.PL line 126
I was also getting an error before about using $search->entries method. As you can see I'm testing this on a windows XP machine with active state v5.8.2 and apache using perl as a cgi.

TIA,
chrisj
