I have discovered a critical bug in Net::LDAP 0.35 and submitted the following ticket: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=34878 In 0.35, the Net::Ldap::Util::ldap_error_name subroutine is broken which means that all functions such as Net::LDAP->code() that return a message as a constant are broken. Instead of returning the correct message, Password Policy (PP) constants are being returned instead. The most crucial example is that a successful bind or search is returning LDAP_PP_PASSWORD_EXPIRED (0) instead of LDAP_SUCCESS (0). You can code around this failure by using resultCode() instead to get the integer form of the result code, however all current perl modules that determine results by using the constant names will function unexpectedly. Please advise me *quickly* if you think for any reason that I have the wrong end of the stick here, but having passed it by a few colleagues I'm pretty damn sure this is a bug and a critical one. -- Kind Regards, __________________________________________________ Mike Peachey, IT Tel: +44 114 281 2655 Fax: +44 114 281 2951 Jennic Ltd, Furnival Street, Sheffield, S1 4QT, UK Comp Reg No: 3191371 - Registered In England http://www.jennic.com __________________________________________________Thread Next
