Re: Re: Undefined subroutine

when I added new at line 5, another error message pop up (see below). Do you have similar examples? Thanks.

I suspect that your code now looks like: `$ldap = new Net::LDAP->('host.edu', port => '389');` [download] which is incorrect syntax. If you are using indirect object syntax (see perlobj under "Method Invocation"), your code should read: `$ldap = new Net::LDAP('host.edu', port => 389) or die "$@";` [download] But it is better to use: `$ldap = Net::LDAP->new('host.edu', port => 389) or die "$@";` [download] (As an aside, remember to check your return values!) See Indirect object syntax (RE: Beginnings of Online CGI Course) and the thread starting with Re: Object Troubles for discussion about indirect object syntax (and why it is generally a Bad Thing). --sacked	[reply] [d/l] [select]
