Re^3: LDAP Authentication

Have you tried printing out $cmd, inspecting the string to make sure it's a valid 'ldapsearch' command, and perhaps pasting it straight into the command line?

Yes I did. In fact script is perfectly OK even if there is a $, = or # etc but fails with ',`,",! etc characters.	[reply]

Then it seems likely that the shell is interpreting those characters rather than passing them to ldapsearch. This really would be very much easier and more secure with Net::LDAP - is there a reason why you can't use the module? -------------------------------------------------------------- "If there is such a phenomenon as absolute evil, it consists in treating another human being as a thing."
