Most books on LDAP will contain a section on search filters, I would 
assume.

Tim Howes and Mark Smith's LDAP programming book does.

Yeah, there's definitely a need for an "LDAP for Dummies" (no offence 
Wolfgang!) document somewhere. I don't know that the Net::LDAP docs are 
the place though.

Cheers,

Chris

I haven't really looked at the FAQ or Examples pods before, but having 
had a quick look just now I think this sort of stuff should go 
elsewhere. People really want more of a guide to LDAP, not in this case 
a guide to the API. If I get some time (on the next long trip I 
suspect) I'll see what I can come up with.

Cheers,

Chris

The Examples.html page has example code on how to do searchs,adds, etc.
Maybe we could get Rusty to add a section about filters to it.

Any additions to any of the documents, especially the faq or examples,
will always be welcome from anyone.
