Page or VLV control

[Allen, R. <ra...@ci...>]

Do the VLV.pm or Paged.pm modules work under Net::LDAP?  If so, do you
have any examples?

Thanks,
Robbie Allen

Both of these are still under developement, so feel free to give any feedback.

Paged should work something like

  $paged = Net::LDAP::Control::Paged->new( size => 10 );

  $mesg = $ldap->search( control => [ $paged ], .... );

  $ctrl = $mesg->control( LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED );

  $paged->cookie($ctrl->cookie) if $ctrl;

  $mesg = $ldap->search( control => [ $paged ], .... );

VLV takes these arguments

  $vlv = Net::LDAP::Control::VLV->new(
    before  => $beforeCount,
    after   => $afterCount,
    assert  => $assertValue,
    offset  => $offset,
    content => $contentCount,
    context => $contextID,   # just noticed a bug that this is missing from new()
  );

If assert is present offset and content are not used. There are methods
by the same names for setting the values. 

In the response you will get a LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE which will have
methods target, result, content and context

Neither the Sort or VLV controls have a new method. Instead they have an
init method.

When I try to replace new with init, I get this:
"Can't use string ("Net::LDAP::Control::Sort") as a HASH ref while "strict
refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Net/LDAP/Control/Sort.pm
line 19."

I get the same thing if I change init to new in the Sort.pm file.

I'm using Perl 5.005_03 on Linux with Net::LDAP .19 and Convert::ASN1 .04.

And here's the code I'm using to setup the Sort control:
 $sort = Net::LDAP::Control::Sort->new(
   order => "cn"
 );


BTW If you use the VLV control, remember you must also include a sort
control as well.

They inherit it from ::Control, which in turn calls init

So you should, you are not meant to do that.

That should work, does it ?

Ah yes. That will be in the docs, when I (or someone else) write them :)

Yeah after I imported Net::LDAP::Control ;).
