Brilliant! Obvious in hindsight. Thanks a lot.

Subject: [ActiveDir] read mS-DS-ReplicatesNCReason with Perl?
Hi,
I know that there are some Perl guru's on this list, one of who's name
starts with a 'j' and ends in 'oe'... so I thought I'd ask a tricky
question.
I'm writing a Perl script to monitor my replication topology. One of the
things I need to accomplish is to read the attribute
mS-DS-ReplicatesNCReason from a connection object. This turns out to be
surprisingly hard... in Perl, that is. Browsing technet gives the
following trivial piece of VBS script that works just fine:
For Each objDNWithBin In objConnection.GetEx("ms-DS-ReplicatesNCReason")
Wscript.Echo objDNWithBin.DNString
Next
However, a similar syntax in Perl fails miserably:
$o_co->GetEx("mS-DS-ReplicatesNCReason")
It returns an object of type "DN Binary", and I cannot find a way to
tell Perl how to deal with it. Robbie Allen in his excellent cookbook
has a recipe involving the IadsTools dll. Is there no way around it? Is
Perl really inferior to VBS in this respect? Surely not ...
Thanks,
