is this error a code issue on my part or a bug with perl-ldap?

[Kent P. <kpe...@ev...>]

I am attempting to use perl-ldap (both 0.25 and 0.251) to search and display
the results.  I working with perl 5.005_03 on a Solaris 8 box and perl
5.6.1, Activestate build 631 on a Win2K machine.  First, here is my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::LDIF;

my $server="idev.dobson.net";
my $port="18251";
my
$binddn="uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot";
my $passwd="admin";
my $basedn="o=dobson.net";
my $scope="sub";

my $c = Net::LDAP->new($server, port => $port) or
    die "Unable to connect to $server: $@\n";

$c->bind ($binddn, password => $passwd) or
    die "Unable to bind: $@\n";

if ($binddn eq "" && $passwd eq "") {
    print "Successful anonymous bind.\n";
} else {
    print "Successful bind as $binddn.\n";
}

my $searchobj = $c->search(base => $basedn, scope => $scope,
                           filter => $ARGV[0]);
die "Bad search, errorcode #".$searchobj->code() if $searchobj->code( );

# process the return values from search ( )
if ($searchobj) {
    my $ldif =  new Net::LDAP::LDIF("-");
    $ldif->write($searchobj->entries( ));
    $ldif->done( );
}

$c->unbind( );
print "Done\n"


On the Solaris box and the Win2K machine I get pretty much the same error.
On the Win2K machine I get:

Successful bind as
uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot.
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
c:/Perl/site/lib/Net/LDAP/Filter.pm line 165.
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
c:/Perl/site/lib/Net/LDAP/Filter.pm line 165.
Bad search, errorcode #89 at ldap.pl line 27.

on the Solaris box I get:

Successful bind as
uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot.
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Net/LDAP/Filter.pm

Use of uninitialized value at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Net/LDAP/Filter.pm
line 165.
Bad search, errorcode #89 at ldap.pl line 27.

Is this a problem with my code or is it a problem with Net::LDAP?

Please, please help me out...
