NAME
Net::LDAP::FilterMatch - LDAP entry matching
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Entry;
use Net::LDAP::Filter;
use Net::LDAP::FilterMatch;
my $entry = new Net::LDAP::Entry;
$entry->dn("cn=dummy entry");
$entry->add (
'cn' => 'dummy entry',
'street' => [ '1 some road','nowhere' ] );
my @filters = (qw/(cn=dummy*)
(ou=*)
(&(cn=dummy*)(street=*road))
(&(cn=dummy*)(!(street=nowhere)))/);
for (@filters) {
my $filter = Net::LDAP::Filter->new($_);
print $_,' : ', $filter->match($entry) ? 'match' : 'no match' ,"\n";
}
ABSTRACT
This extension of the class Net::LDAP::Filter provides entry matching
functionality on the Perl side.
Given an entry it will tell whether the entry matches the filter
object.
It can be used on its own or as part of a Net::LDAP::Server based LDAP
server.
METHOD
match ( ENTRY [ ,SCHEMA ] )
Return whether ENTRY matches the filter object. If a schema object
is provided, the selection of matching algorithms will be derived
from schema.
In case of error undef is returned.
For approximate matching like (cn~=Schmidt) there are several modules
that can be used. By default the following modules will be tried in
this order:
String::Approx
Text::Metaphone
Text::Soundex
If none of these modules is found it will fall back on a simple regexp
algorithm.
If you want to specifically use one implementation only, simply do
use Net::LDAP::FilterMatch qw(Text::Soundex);
