Hi,
I am getting unexpected results when calling get_value on an
attribute that
does not exist within an entry. My code looks like:
print "here\n";
print Dumper($entry->get_value("unknownattribute"));
print "there\n";
and the results look like:
% ./get_value.pl
here
there
%
Which is expected. The POD says
get_value ( ATTR, OPTIONS )
Get the values for the attribute ATTR. In a list context returns all
values for the given attribute, or the empty list if the attribute
does not exist. In a scalar context returns the first value for the
attribute or undef if the attribute does not exist.
Dumper() is putting it in a list context, so you get an empty list
