Where I can find Convert::ASN1 0.19? On CPAN I see only 0.17, and on
google I cannot find 0.19 ... looks like the latest version is 0.17. :-\

It's not Red Hat but SunOS 5.9 (but this is probably not important in
this case) and in my initial mail I have said that I *must*
convert/mangle (some, but some not) utf8 strings to ascii, and that
tr/// is not working without "use encoding 'utf8'". But _with_ utf8 I
get "Bad ASN PDU" from
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Convert/ASN1/IO.pm
So I'm stuck here.
Question: is it safe to just comment out this sanity check in IO.pm?
elsif (!$len && !$tch) {
die "Bad ASN PDU" unless $depth;
unless (--$depth) {
last;
}
}
... or somebody must fix bug in $ldap->search in Net::LDAP?
I have used little older versions of Convert::ASN1 and Net::LDAP, but
after upgrade from CPAN to latest versions of both things are the same.
