Next Tuesday, Will Willis will be presenting an Introduction to Perl.

We will be meeting in a new location: 3131 W. Alabama St.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=&vps=1&jsv=196c&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=47.349227,96.152344&ie=UTF8&geocode=FT7ExQEd2fBP-g&split=0

We'll meet in the lobby on the 1st floor above the ground. Someone will
be around to let you in. Around 6:20, we'll go up to the conference
room for the meeting.

Parking is free on the second level of the parking garage. (The bottom
level will be locked at 7pm, so don't park there.)

I hope to see you there.

Great.

For the rest, even if you feel that you know the basics, I think this
will be a good presentation to attend. Unlike most of our talks, Will
had mentioned that he might put some effort into the community side of
Perl.

I'm really looking forward to it.

We (in Raleigh.pm) often have a good time when covering a more
introductory topic when there are some core "old hands" around to pipe
up during discussions or offer their experiences in response to a
question.

And we're even mostly good about not talking all over our presenter. :)

Happy New Year, Everyone!

January's presentation, Tuesday the 12th, will be a gentle introduction to
Perl and the Perl Community. We'll cover topics like why Perl is a good
programming language to know, how to get started on Unix and/or Windows
systems, where to go for help, the CPAN, and the language syntax.

While we always make an effort to help beginners at each meeting, this
meeting will be entirely dedicated to those starting out, curious about the
language, or looking for a refresher. Bring your laptops, bring your
questions, bring your friends.

I hope to see you all there!

Subject: [pm-h] Can't determine what the problem is
In-Reply-To: <748c25c21001130851n6f731b88q2e98354a8e5f6c86@mail.gmail.com>
Message-ID: <C773617E.A55D%kevin.creason-1@nasa.gov>

Is this problem with me/my code? Or am I having a problem with the Net::LDAP
module?

I appreciate any insights-- I'm querying an active directory group which has
more than 1500 members which is apparently the cut-off. When you get 1501 or
more members the member list is split into ranges, so the attributes become
"member;range=0-1499", and also "member;range=1500-*" up to 2,999 in which
case it would advance to "member;range=1500-2999" and "member;range=3000-*".

Make sense? Final range is always an asterisk.

So here's the output-- I only see one range. The asterisk range is missing.
I have verified it really exists using command tools. So it is either
something in my syntax (which I don't think is true because I have dumbed
this way down) or in the module:

# ~kcreason/perl/biggroupdump
Att: "cn".
Att: "dSCorePropagationData".
Att: "description".
Att: "distinguishedName".
Att: "groupType".
Att: "instanceType".
Att: "member".
Att: "member;range=0-1499".
Att: "name".
Att: "objectCategory".
Att: "objectClass".
Att: "objectGUID".
Att: "objectSid".
Att: "sAMAccountName".
Att: "sAMAccountType".
Att: "uSNChanged".
Att: "uSNCreated".
Att: "whenChanged".
Att: "whenCreated".


Here's my code...

use Net::LDAP;
my $ad_ldap = Net::LDAP->new('servername');
my $error = $ad_ldap->bind('userprincipalname', password => 'password');
my $group_search = undef;
my @members;

$group_search = $ad_ldap->search(
'base' => 'the ldap base, is here',
'filter' => "(&(objectClass=group)(samaccountname=GroupName))",
'attrs' => [ '*',alloptions=>1 ]
);
die if ($group_search->code);

my @entries = $group_search->entries;
foreach my $entr (@entries)
 {
  foreach my $attr ( sort $entr->attributes) { print "Att: \"$attr\".\n"; }
 }

$ad_ldap->unbind;

No real experience with the issue you are having and no way to test at the moment, but I've found that Data::Dumper can be very helpful in determining the data structure being returned.  It could be that the LDAP module is converting the entry into an array.

Well, the January meeting was a success. We had a better turnout than
we've had in quite a while. Will's presentation was well-received and
sparked quite a bit of discussion.

The February meeting in rapidly approaching, does anyone want to
volunteer to present or have a topic they would like to see?

Should we continue on the "Intro to Perl" topics?
Should we go back to our "Higher Order Perl" book study?
Something else entirely?
