A couple lines of Filter.pod are confusing me:

     parse ( FILTER )
         Parse FILTER. The next call to ber will return this
         filter encoded.

     asn Return the data structure suitable for passing directly
         to the Convert::ASN1 manpage to encode a filter object.


There is no asn method in Filter.pm as of version 0.13 (and I assume it's not really meant to be passed to the manpage)

I'm not sure what the "next call to ber" is... I am trying "new Filter Net::LDAP::BER->new(Net::LDAP::Filter->new($filterStr))," and it's doing something, but not sure what!

I'm turning a standalone, working Perl LDAP server into an OpenLDAP backend and am having trouble turning a filterstring into a BER object- might rip out the BER support and just use the Filter object's internals- wanted to alert you to the state of the docs.

-y
