RE: utf8 in LDIF

[Rafael C. <Raf...@li...>]

Hi Hans,
I think you should use the Unicode::MapUTF8 module:

use Unicode::MapUTF8 qw(from_utf8);

... (now, if you have an entry $entry) ...

print from_utf8({-string =3D> $entry->get_value('cn'), -charset =3D>
'ISO-8859-1'}) . "\n";

will print you the cn attribute, translated to ISO-8859-1

Bye,
Rafael

Subject: utf8 in LDIF


Hi,

My question might be off-topic but I'm sure someone has seen this
before.

I have an LDIF containing base64 data:


dn: uid=3Dbruins,dc=3Drabobank, dc=3DNL
objectClass: top
objectClass: rabomailItem
cn:: QnJ1aW5zIFNsb3QsIEogKEp1bGnCunR0ZSk=3D
sn: Bruins
l: Waalre
uid: bruins

When I dump this entry after reading with Net::LDAP::LDIF I get:

objectclass: top
 		  rabomailItem
         cn: Bruins Slot, J (Juli=C2=BAtte)
         sn: Bruins
          l: Waalre
     	   uid: bruins

I would like to get Juli=EBtte instead of Juli=C2=BAtte .
Is there a trick to obtain this latin-1 value instead of the UTF8. I
tried:

my $cn=3D$entry->get_value('cn');
	$cn=3D~ tr/\F0-\x{FF}//UC;=20
print "$cn \n";

Which results in:

Bruins Slot, J (Juli=BAtte)

I'm using perl 5.6.0 on NT4.
