Sharib, The only thing I see wrong with your query is the use of 's in #2 and you may not have meant that literally since it wouldn't work with | either. This is, a filter of (&(sn=Jones)(givenname=Bob)) is correct, but (&(Sn='Jones')(givenname='Bob')) is most likely wrong since you realy don't want 's in your directory entries. If you didn't mean the 's, then you have done something else wrong, which can't be detected from your message. Try using a filter in another tool like ldapsearch, the copying that and pasting it into your perl code. The reverse might not work because Net::LDAP is more forgiving about missing outer ()s than ldapsearch.
