Hello everybody, i occasionally come accross LDIF files and have the nees to filter them. Most oft he time, regex filtering is enough to get matching entries (using ldif-extract.pl from http://ldif-extract.sourceforge.net/ ). However, sometimes filtering could be formulated much more easily and readable using LDAP-Filters. It would be very nice if the LDAP::Filter could be extended with a method apply( EntrySet ), where EntrySet could be either a LDAP::Search object or an array containing LDAP::Entry objects. This could easily be leveraged into client-side filtering of LDAP search results and filtering LDIF records or even hand crafted entries, making it possible to execute querys on entries in local memory. With best regards, Benedikt Hallinger

Hi, There is no need for an extension to Net::LDAP::Filter. Net::LDAP::FilterMatch can be used to solve your issues. Net::LDAP::FilterMatch acts on a single entry. Iterating over an array of entries is trivial and can be done in your program. Please note that filtering on the client side is not guaranteed to yield the same results as filtering on the LDAP server side. The filters on the Perl side can mimic only some aspects of real LDAP Filters. Best Peter Am 6.
