Re: seeking advice

[<rg...@di...>]

Folks, my apologies if this isn't the correct forum for this.  I was asked to
present it to the list for your comments.


In my past work on implementing LDAP applications (mostly WEB based), I'm
always running into issues of building complex query strings dynamically and
more important correctly.

So, I wrote a PERL module to accomplish this.

My dilemma is where to put it if folks think it it worthy of publishing.

It's sole purpose is to create LDAP query strings, but is not dependent
on any other modules (e.g. Net::LDAP) or programs (i.e. pure Perl).

Graham commented that it might make sense to expand the Net::LDAP::Filter
code.

Anyway, I'm not going to proceed with publishing until I've gotten comments,
criticism, or flames that I can use for direction.

Thanks in advance for any response.
