Thanks for your answer. I have to translate java code to perl ;) But another question, it seems the value we get from AD is binary, I use the "raw" attribute in Net::LDAP search but the value I get is not what I can see with an ldapsearch... Is there a better way to manage binary data in perl-ldap ? Clément.
