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 ?
ldapsearch is outputing in LDIF and binary data will be base64
encoded. You can tell this by the double : after the attribute name
you should see the same result if you use Net::LDAP::LDIF to output
your entry
my $ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new('-','w');
$ldif->write_entry($entry);
Yes you are right!
The problem is now that the value is outputed as utf-8, and if you
want to
manage such attribute, you have to convert it into bytes :

This page helps me to convert the utf-8 into hexadecimal. Then you can
easily transform hexa to binary.
Did someone on this list use this kind of attributes in his perl code?
The rfc822mailbox (aka "mail") attribute uses the IA5string syntax. I
bet a few people use that attribute.
