Re: Iterative LDAP searches

[Graham B. <gb...@po...>]

There was once a module called Net::LDAPiranah which did this, but it was
written for a very old version of Net::LDAP and probably needs updating.

As for Paged results. Have you tried the example code in the docs ?

 perldoc Net::LDAP::Control::Paged

or

 http://perl-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/Net/LDAP/Control/Paged.html
