Re: Retrieve Image

[Mark W. <mew...@un...>]

$entry->get(..) returns an array context.

Thus you would need to do something like $image->[0] to get the actual
value.

If you're using the latest version of Net::LDAP, use
$entry->get_value(..) this will return the first value of the array if
called in a scalar context.
