RE: Net::LDAP Filter question

[Vanole, M. <mik...@at...>]

Correction below on the range filter. I was actually trying this:

my $filter = "(&(whenCreated >= 20020812000000.0Z) (whenCreated =<
20020812235959.0Z))"
	or
my $filter = "(&(whenCreated >= 200208120000000Z) (whenCreated =<
200208122359590Z))"

and even this:
my $filter = "(&(whencreated >= 20020812000000.0Z))";
	or
my $filter = "(&(whencreated >= 200208120000000Z))";
