Re: Novell Schema problem?

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

The schema module is one that will be changing in the next release. IIRC this is
a bug with parsing - in names. Attached is my developemnt version of Schema.pm
and Schema.pod, the API is different.

It would be useful if others could also test this. I will be doing a
beta release of perl-ldap as soon as my day job permits, which will
also have changes to the DSML to be a SAX parser.
