After searching endlessly for a straight forward ldap search script sample that actually returned info I can use immediately and not have to through into an array to further massage(because I don't understand the Net::LDAP interworkings), This is is awesome! This should be the sample script used to teach folks who don't yet understand the Perl OO stuff and would like to use Net::LDAP. Some minor issues with "Odd number of elements in anonymous hash", but otherwise works great and was able to further modify to use. Frankly, the official examples(as someone new to using the Net::LDAP" are not very good as far as the search goes. This example is just fantastic, now I can start digging further for better understand this. But honestly, I don't know why some of these modules are built so complex to use. At any rate, Thanks Lachoy!!
