change filter if no match

[Luis Cerezo]

Hi!

i am having a bit of trouble trying to get this right.
I have a list of uids:full names that i need to match in ldap. I want to 
search the Full Name if the uid does not match. (not all will.)

while (<FH1>)   {
                       @map = split(/:/,$_);
                       chomp();
                       $mesg = $ldap->search ( 
filter=>"(sAMAccountName=$map[0])",
                       base=>"blah blah",
                       attrs=> ['mail', 'cn', 'distinguishedName'], );

something here... if the sAMAccountName returns no matches (successful 
bind) then try the displayName,(FULL NAME)

                       # || $mesg = $ldap->search ( 
filter=>"(displayName=$map[1])",
                       #base=>"blah blah",
                       #attrs=> ['mail', 'cn', 'distinguishedName'],
                       #);
                       $mesg->count or warn 
"$map[0]\|$map[4]\|no_matches\n";
                       @entries = $mesg->entries;
                               foreach $entry (@entries) {
                                                       @attrs = 
$entry->attributes();
                                                       $stuff = 
$entry->get_value(mail);
                                                       $dn =   
$entry->get_value(distinguishedName);
                                                       print OUT, 
"stuff about blah blah and things";
                                                          }
