LDAP is hierarchical.
I don't think that reading large amounts of the LDAP directory into a
structure of nested hashes is a good idea. It sounds like a lot of
wasted memory, network bandwidth and CPU cycles, not counting the hours
of work to implement this.
Please explain what your real problem is, and why you think that
stuffing everything into a nested hash is a solution for it.
We could switch to german language, if that does not offend the list
subscribers. Or we could try to discuss the problem outside the list via
e-mail.

I hope you get the idea, which is to turn a flat LDAP structure into
a tree hierachy.
I'm confused as to why you'd think that the LDAP structure is
flat and that putting it into a hash would change that? :}
perhaps my english is not good enough to explain what I want to achieve,
but of course I don't want to change the AD or LDAP structure - I just
want to have the LDAP query results as a hierarchical structure in my perl
script.
