Hi all,
I am trying to use the page control on a >1000 record LDAP query. I pretty
much just copied the code from the examples and modified it for my use, but I
might have messed something up. The error I get when I run the program is:
Can't call method "cookie" without a package or object reference at ldap_test.pl line
95, <DATA> line 461.
Here is the code around that line number:
76. while(1) {
77. my $searchRes = $ldap->search( @searchArgs );
78. if ($searchRes->code == 0) {
79. foreach my $entry ($searchRes->entries) {
# Do stuff with the entry
93. }
94. my $resp = $searchRes->control( LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED ) or last;
95. $cookie = $resp->cookie or last;
96. $page->cookie($cookie);
97. } else {
98. print LOG "Error with search:\n" . $searchRes->error . "\n";
99. last;
100. }
101. }
My script is processing the information inside the foreach() correctly, but it
errors out when it hits line 95. Thanks in advance for any help you can
provide.
From Net::LDAP::Message:
control ( OID, ... )
Return a *list* of controls with the given OIDs that were returned
from the server.
So you want:
my ($resp) = $searchRes->control( LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED ) or last;
Then $resp will contain the first (and only) control, which is what you
want. I got bit on the same problem, took more than a 1/2 hour to
realize the problem.
