Just curious... I see no commits to git since 10/2008. I sent a

Net::LDAP::LDIF

No it is not dead. Things have just been a bit crazy for me
recently.
I obviously missed your private email. please resend.
Thanks! I'll track it down today and resend it. And I completely
understand about times getting crazy. ;)
Ok, I resent the email yesterday. Can you confirm you received
it? :)
Yes I got it. Seems a strange situation but I will try to look at
it this week.
Quanah,
I took a look at your example. The issue is that the DN has non-
ascii characters in it, but the encode option to Net::LDAP::LDIF is
left at thte default value of 'none'. 'none' seems an odd default as
it can generate invalid output. I think it was meant more for quick
debugging output as base64 hides the data. 'base64' would seem a
more reasonable default to me.
Chris, You made this code change back in 2001
http://github.com/gbarr/perl-ldap/commit/234d7da34091ade7286593730eaf55267fc6eb41
It was a long time ago so you probably cannot remember why you chose
'none', but would you not agree that 'base64' is a better default ?
I would agree that base64's safer, but I'm not sure I wrote that bit
of code. Change the default to base64 IMHO.
Cheers,
Chris
