How to add non-ascii code into LDAP (use Net::LDAP)

[Felix A. <ae...@rz...>]

Hi

my problem is: I will add a String into LDAP with perl-ldap.
The string contains non-ascii codes.

My first step is to encode the string from latin1 to utf8 than
to base64. Next, I tried to add the encoded string. Ther is the
problem. The string should end up as binary data in LDAP
example: sn: Wei=DF -> sn:: V2Vpw58=3D

At next I tried this way:

$enc_text=3D"Wei=DF";
$log_username=3D"XMan" ;
$ldap_base=3D"ou=3Dstaff, dc=3Dhs-bremen, dc=3Dde";
$u=3DUnicode::String::latin1($enc_text);
$Result =3D $ldap->modify("uid=3D$log_username,$ldap_base",
       replace =3D> { 'sn' =3D> encode_base64($u->utf8) } );

It dosn't work, too!!!
The output is "sn: V2Vpw58=3D" not "sn:: V2Vpw58=3D"

What can I do that?


Thanks for help.
