Brian,
What you really want is:
$del_msg = $ldap->modify( $dn,
changes => [
# delete old value
delete => [ SFTrule => [ "$old_value" ] ],
# add new value
add => [ SFTrule => [ "$new_value" ] ]
]
);
Why do both the add and delete in a single modify? So that it is treated as an
atom and if EITHER fails, NEITHER happens (which is the creed -- "at the very
least, do no harm")
This is straight out of the perl-ldap documentation, have you read it?
