Hey Chris I have tried that
but it returns exactly no that a page size is set to, If you set the
page size to a value greater than admin limit it would return the amount
of entries <eq> to admin limit.
logically I need the flow need to go this way
{search first 999 entries}
<do processing>
{search next 1000 - 1999 entries}
<do processing>
... continues till the time all the entries are processed
What I am missing out is how to leave a pointer at 999 th entry
Looks like I am making some mistake while implementing
Net::LDAP::Control::Paged
I have a work around this ..by splitting the searches on OU .. but not a
good way to code , :(
Regards,
Yash

Does your Active Directory support Paged Results? Use:
$root_dse = $ldap->root_dse;
if ($root_dse->supported_control(LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED)) {
# do paged results searches here
# Read Net::LDAP::Control::Paged for details and an example
}
(Typed in Mail, but you get the idea.) Paged Results will give you
multiple sets ("pages") of results, each set usually being smaller
than the admin limit. But the overall number of results will usually
be greater than the admin limit.
Cheers,
Chris
