Size limit

[Carlos F. B. <car...@re...>]

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with the Net::LDAP->add function. When  I use it,
passing as second argument a hash whose length is bigger than
255 bytes, it fails. If I shorten the length of the hash, everything
works fine. Is there any size limit? If so, why?

Regards Carlos

Can you please supply some example code so we can better understand the
situation.

Hello again, 

Firstable thank you very much for your help. I have realise that there
is no problem in the second argument of "Net::LDAP:add" function. I have
made a wrong interpretation of that argument format. 

I have  developed a function which parses a DSML file. It returns the
LDAP entries found in that file. There was a error in this function,
when it built the array of attributes to be passed to the
"Net::LDAP::add" function, so the argument I pass to it has a wrong
structure. 

Sorry for any inconvenience cause.

Best regards, Carlos

Any particular reason why you did not use Net::LDAP::DSML ?

I don't use Net::LDAP::DSML because it exports to DSML, but I want to
import DSML from a file. I have not seen in the library any function for
importing from DSML. This is the added functionality that my module has.
Are you also working on it?

Carlos

Net::LDAP::DSML does both export AND import.
