If there is one thing that concerns me is that it is implemented by inheritance. inheritance is usually, in my experience, used to extend functionality of a class. But in this case you are changing it. By that I mean you have overridden methods and changed their functionality by changing the return type. What I would suggest is that the Net::LDAP object become a property of your object and not inherit. It would then also be possible for your class to use Net::LDAPS by passing an extra arg to new(). Other than that, it seems fine (excluding my own personal reservations about modules with ::Simple in their name) Graham.Thread Previous | Thread Next
