Re: interpreting error codes

[Graham B. <gb...@po...>]

The ->error method will return any error string that the server returned.
Sadly there is no requirment that they put anything in there, so for
many servers it is empty :(

Net::LDAP::Util does provide two subs for converting the error code
to a name or description.

  use Net::LDAP::Util qw(ldap_error_name ldap_error_text);

  print ldap_error_name($mesg->code),"\n";
  print ldap_error_text($mesg->code),"\n";
