Reinhard, you may want to take a look at the IO::Scalar module in
IO-stringy. It allows you to perform I/O on strings.

I tried this also, does not work. In your opinion is it worthwhile to hack
the Net::LDAP::LDIF module in order to have the possibility to convert
from LDIF into objects without a need to deal with temporaneous files ?
thx a bunch

Re: Read LDIF from Perl variable
In the immortal words of [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Thank you, I tried this out and, really, it opens my variable as if
it
would be a file. However, there's then a little problem, may be I'm
blind and do not see, ... anyway.
If I pass this filehandle to LDIF, LDIF can't use it .
I've seen that the first thing the new procedure does is to call
ref($file). If this is true, then it thinks it's a filehandle.
However
I did'nt achieve to get this true in any way. My fault ??
thx for any advice, I didn't post this to the group, because I would
like to make sure first that's not an absolute idiocy from me .......
Instead of passing the filehandle directly, pass a reference to it:
$ldif = new Net::LDAP::LDIF (*FH{IO});
See if that works...
