Perl Module: Net::LDAP::FilterMatch v0.17 (from perl-ldap-0.36)
Perl Version: v5.8.8
Problem Description:
It seems, that Net::LDAP::FilterMatch does not work with substring
searches. The sample code in the perldoc:
-------snip-------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Net::LDAP::Entry;
use Net::LDAP::Filter;
use Net::LDAP::FilterMatch;
my $entry = new Net::LDAP::Entry;
$entry->dn("cn=dummy entry");
$entry->add (
'cn' => 'dummy entry',
'street' => [ '1 some road','nowhere' ] );
my @filters = (qw/(cn=dummy*)
(ou=*)
(&(cn=dummy*)(street=*road))
(&(cn=dummy*)(!(street=nowhere)))/);
for (@filters) {
my $filter = Net::LDAP::Filter->new($_);
print $_,' : ', $filter->match($entry) ? 'match' : 'no match' ,"\n";
}
-------snip-------
results in:
(cn=dummy*) : no match
(ou=*) : no match
(&(cn=dummy*)(street=*road)) : no match
(&(cn=dummy*)(!(street=nowhere))) : no match
Equality and Presence work fine.
It would be very fine, if this could be fixed. Net::LDAP::FilterMatch is
a very useful module. Anyway I'd like to thank you for the very great
Net::LDAP Framework.
