Re: [Fwd] Problem with Net::LDAP

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

It is taking so much memory because it is reading all the results into
memory before returning for you to process them.

I suspect you don't really need all of the entries, so try modifying your
filter to result the resutl set that is being sent.

If this is not possible, try using the callback option. This allows you
to process each entry as it arrives from the server.
