Search Filter too narrow.

[Tom Chang]

Dear Mr. Barr:
�
I'm starting to use your Perl LDAP module.
�
Thank you for providing to everyone.
�
I have a problem with a simple search, but I can't find anything on the 
net about so I'm writing you.
�
With my code, when I do a narrow search in the search filter, I can 
easily obtain results, but when I make the search filter for everthing 
(objectclass=*), it doesn't return anything.� I think it's because it's 
returning such a large return (approx 117,000 entries) that it's 
filling up ram.�� Is this correct.� If so, how do get the search to 
print out an entry each time it finds one?
�
Sincerely,
�
Tom
