Yeah, subtree works fine. I agree with the last statement, and the $ldif + was purely a typo from being in a hurry.
It works now.

But it doesn't cause a problem if you do. > $msg = $ldap->search( > base => "o=amr", > scope => "subtree", > filter => "(&(objectClass=person)(isSupervisor=Y))", > attrs => [ "cn", "uid" ]); You don't need to specify scope => "subtree", to get subtree scoped searching. Subtree is the default. And even if you do specify it, the options are "base", "one", or "sub"; not "subtree". That is one reason why your script does not work. > $ldif + Net::LDAP::LDIF->new("\\supes.ldif", "w") What is "$ldif +" supposed to mean? That should give a big warning. You should start all of your perl scripts with: #!/usr/bin/perl -w until you are such an expert that you don't need to ask mailing lists for help with debugging scripts :-) -- Mike
