RE: Writing an LDIF to a variable?

[Behruz R. <beh...@cp...>]

I think if you read carefully the previous article, you will see how to dump
you entries into a ldif file.
This is the code from the article.

my $ldif = new Net::LDAP::LDIF ('example.ldif','w') || die ("failed to open
example.ldif. $!\n");
$ldif->write($entry);
$ldif->done();

Close but no cigar.  Although I did fine a nice dump function which dumps an
Entry object to STDOUT.

I just need something simple like:

$myvar=$ldif->dump($entry)

or something like that.
