No::Worries::DN(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to this User Contributed Perl Documentation page for No::Worries::DN(3) — yes, that's the manual name, and we are diving in 💅

This module is literally No::Worries::DN, and its whole vibe is Distinguished Names handling without worries 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the little demo, copy-paste safe:

use No::Worries::DN qw(dn_parse dn_string);

$dn = dn_parse("/C=US/O=Acme Corporation/CN=John Doe");
$string = dn_string($dn, No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_JAVA);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module eases Distinguished Names (DNs) handling by providing convenient functions to parse and convert DNs from and to different formats. Literally convenience, no cap ✨

All the functions here die() on error, so yeah, error handling is very much a thing 😭🔥

---

💖 FUNCTIONS 💖

okay so this module provides the following functions, and none of them are exported by default — you gotta ask for them by name, bestie 🫶

• dn_parse(STRING) — parses a string containing DN information and returns an array reference. It's giving "string goes in, array ref comes out" 🌸
• dn_string(DN, FORMAT) — converts the given parsed DN (an array reference) into a string of the given format. This is somehow the opposite of dn_parse() 👑

---

🌈 FORMATS 🌈

Here are the supported formats, bestie:

• No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_RFC2253 — this is the format defined by RFC 2253. For instance: CN=John Doe,O=Acme Corporation,C=US 💖
• No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_JAVA — this is a variant of RFC 2253, with extra spaces. For instance: CN=John Doe, O=Acme Corporation, C=US ✨
• No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_OPENSSL — this is the default format used by OpenSSL. For instance: /C=US/O=Acme Corporation/CN=John Doe 🦋
