Perl LDAP Folk,

       Tracking down an issue with a business process,  I've run into a
problem with an audit using Net::LDAP.  There are some string attributes in
one of our LDAP servers that were written to the directory as base 64
encoded strings.  The strings in question have a trailing space ( which
caused the input system to encode them as base64 ). Fixed the input
problem,  but trying to use Net::LDAP to locate these attributes has
failed,  as the base64 decoding of the string appears to result in the
trailing space being removed. When I call get_value method on an entry
object, none of them have the trailing string.

       I verified the results using openldap seaches to confirm the data I'm
seeing does have a trailing space in the directory.

       Does anyone have suggestions on how to address this using Net::LDAP?
Is this a bug?

Thanks!
