Re: Writing an LDIF to a variable?

[Eric N. <eni...@cp...>]

No such luck,
I got it to work, except IO::Scalar dosen't support the TELL function?

Can't locate object method "TELL" via package "IO::Scalar" at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/LDAP/LDIF.pm line 169.

Source code:
---
use Net::LDAP::Entry;
use Net::LDAP::LDIF;
use IO::Scalar;

my ($destentry) = Net::LDAP::Entry->new;
$destentry->add('cn'=>['Eric Nichols']);
$destentry->dn('cn=eric nichols,o=cps');

my $s;
tie *OUT, 'IO::Scalar', \$s;

my $ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new(\*OUT,"a");
$ldif->write($destentry);
$ldif->done();

print $s;
