I think it is a MIME::Base64 question. It seems to "silently ignore" most errors, so you might just have to use a regex :-( However, you do know that there's no need to base64 encode attribute values in LDAP? LDAP's a binary protocol. The only use of base64 is when writing certain unsafe values to LDIF *files*, and (curiously) in some hashed password mechanisms. Cheers, Chris
