However, you do know that there's no need to base64 encode attribute values

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Somehow, I was under the impression that
attribute values were already base64 encoded inside of the entry result
set, but I was simply wrong. I think it had something to do with the
fact that I am used to seeing password values base64 encoded...
I created a test entry with the following:
memberUid: foo
memberUid: bar
memberUid: big
memberUid: tämä
memberUid: ää-mike-ää
memberUid: bigfoo
The following code works fine for matching all values, even the ones
which would be base64 encoded when dumped to LDIF:
------------
for my $entry (@entries) {
my @vals = $entry->get_value('memberUID');
for (@vals) {
if (/mike/) {
print "match: $_\n";
} else {
print "no match: $_\n";
}
}
}
------------
no match: foo
no match: bar
no match: big
no match: tämä
match: ää-mike-ää
no match: bigfoo
--
mike
