search sub-set of ou's

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

There are quita a few ou's under "dc=tamu,dc=edu".  How should I specify
the base to just search in two ou's.  For instance, what should the
$basedn be if I just want to look up "cn=john smith" in
'ou=dept1,dc=tamu,dc=edu" and 'ou=dept2,dc=tamu,dc=edu"?

$mesg = $ld->search(base => $basedn,scope => 'sub',filter => "(cn=john
smith)",attrs => [],typesonly => 0);

Thanks,

Bing
