Re: Referrals and onerror

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

It was not intentional, just an oversight.

Net::LDAP::Message::is_error returns true for any value that is not LDAP_SUCESS,
each sub-class needs to override if they need something different, for example
Net::LDAP::Compare does.

However, my original thought was that acceptable codes should be passed
to the method. Some people may not want referral others do. So those that do
would need add

  $ldap->search( ..., allow => [ LDAP_REFERRAL ]);

which would prevent LDAP_REFERRAL from being treated as an error.

I just never got that far :)
