Net::LD...ference(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Net::LDAP::Reference - search reference. Also hi bestie, this is the Net::LD...ference(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and we're about to make it make sense. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Okay so the callback flow is giving whole little group-chat script, and here it is:

  use Net::LDAP;

  $ldap->search( @search_args, callback => \&process);

  sub process {
    my $mesg = shift;
    my $obj = shift;
    if (!$obj) {
      # Search complete
    }
    elsif ($obj->isa('Net::LDAP::Reference')) {
      my $ref;

      foreach $ref ($obj->references) {
        # process ref
      }
    }
    else {
      # Process Net::LDAP::Entry
    }
  }

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The Net::LDAP::Reference object represents a reference (sometimes called a "referral") returned by the directory from a search. That's the whole mood: the directory is basically saying “bestie, look over there,” and this object is the thing that carries that reference energy. 💅

🔍 METHODS 🔍
