Re: ldapsearch

[Bing D. <Bi...@ci...>]

We have Net::LDAP::Control and Net::LDAP::LDAP::sort installed on the
system.

But I did not find any document on them.
'perldoc Net::LDAP::Control' said:

No documentation found for "Net::LDAP::Control".
However, try
        perldoc Net::LDAP::Control::sort

Then I did  'perldoc Net::LDAP::Control::sort' and got:

No documentation found for "Net::LDAP::Control::sort".

I read the Control.pm and sort.pm.  But they are not self-explanatory
enough to me.  Can anybody show me how to use Control.pm and sort.pm? 
Thanks.

Bing

Well if your server supports v3 controls you could use the Sort
control.
Net::LDAP::Control::Sort will be in the next release.

Again v3 controls. You could use the Paged control and just get the
first
page.
