Subject: About Net::LDAP versions 1.19-1.22
Dear Mr. Barr
My name is Marco Marongiu, I am a perl ``programmer'' from Italy :-)
I've been working on a web interface for some services on a directory
server based on OpenLDAP 1.2.11 on Debian GNU/Linux 2.11 and SUN Solaris
7 platforms.
I had really big problems in deleting attributes from entries. Since in
documentation I read
modify ( DN, OPTIONS )
Modify the contents of DN on the server. DN May be a
string or a Net::LDAP::Entry object.
[...]
add The add option should be a reference to a HASH. The
values of the HASH are the attributes to add, and
the values may be a string or a reference to a list
of values.
[...]
replace The <replace> option takes a argument in the same
form as add, but will cause any existing attributes
with the same name to be replaced. If the value for
any attribute in the HASH is a reference to an empty
ARRAY the all instances of the attribute will be
deleted.
But when I issued a request like
$msg = $ldap->modify($dn, replace => { attribute => [] }) ;
I got an error, and $msg->code returned 2. It turned out that the change
didn't take place unless the request was restated as
$msg = $ldap->modify($dn, replace => { attribute => undef }) ;
Did I go wrong? Or maybe is it a "bug" in documentation/module?
Thank you for all the work you've been doing for the perl community!
Sincerely
Marco Marongiu
