Re: Mysterious error

[Jonathan L. <jon...@le...>]

Duh, should have gave a little more info.
I am using Net::LDAP 0.19 with OpenLDAP on a Linux webserver.
I cannot easily upgrade the module, since it is a production machine and with
recent API changes, so telling me get the newest version isn't really helpful.
And this version has been working fine for months and I am not doing anything new.

Woohoo, just took another look and caught my mistake. I guess a third cup of coffee helped.
In case any one wants to know what happened:

I wrote the same wrapper for ldap->search and consolidated them into one module, after they 
seemed to be exactly the same. But the last 2 arguments were in opposite order, so instead 
of passing an empty array ref as the attributes to find (which meant all), I was passing
an empty arrayref as the base. 

Would it be possible to have a better error message? Like :
"Base is not valid", or something?

Thanks for your time.
