Hi,

I think im missing something...

use SOAP::Lite;
##...soap setup done here....##
my $result = $soap->search(SOAP::Data->name('searchString',$search));


foreach my $r (%$result){
   print $r->result->{Person}->{commonname};
    
}

This code searches for people (ldap i think). It works fine if the searchString is something unique to a person i.e a login id but if i use a common surname i.e. shaw, i get this error:
Pseudo-hashes are deprecated at ./searchPeople.pl line 23.
Argument "\x{53}\x{68}..." isn't numeric in hash element at ./searchPe
+ople.pl line 23.
Bad index while coercing array into hash at ./searchPeople.pl line 23.

Its obviously a syntactic thing, to do with hashes of hashes or some such, but i just cant work it out.

The argument isnt numeric bit -> \x{53}\x{68} converts to Sh from Shaw i guess.

Thanks

Joe
