Hi Friends,

I guess we all know that using ldif files we can add or modify the directory contents using OpenLDAP command line applications as shown below:

E.G: ldapadd -v -x -D "cn=admin,dc=nodomain" -H ldap://192.168.1.31:389 -f add_org.ldif -W

Now "Net::LDAP' provides "add" method which takes the attributes to be added. It also provides "modify" method along with many other useful methods.

I was refering the documentation (http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net/LDAP.pod) and I couldn't find a way to provide a ldif file as an input parameter to the methods like "add" or "modify".

I just wanted to know if it is possible provide "ldif" files as an input parameter to various functions of Net::LDAP (just as we can do with the command "ldapadd")

If no then I guess we have to use Net::LDAP::LDIF.

Cheers,

Parag
