I've to extract a CN (Common Name) from an LDAP DN. The LDAP DN is

I just need to extract the Name from the above string. Right now
I've

my @tmpList = split ( /=CN=/, $_ );
$issuer = $tmpList[1];

But this returns the whole string "Name,OU=People,OU=com"

You'd better use a regex without the split() function:

    my ($issuer) = /CN=([^,]+)/;
