Hi All,
To me this just seems so strange, I have been a "Net User" for very nearly 35 years. I have seen the "Net/Web" evolve from a collection of "Private Only" networks, to what it is now. I am astonished that people think that a few adverts are intrusive, when I started using what we now call the web there were no Adverts to worry about - of course there weren't any graphics either. If you wanted to view any pictures then there was uuencode and uudecode these were not for the faint hearted.
Everything was done on a green (mainly text only) screen, maybe a vt100 if you were lucky. Communication speeds were measured in BAUD and 300BAUD was considered fast, my first connections were through an acoustic coupler at 110/75BAUD.
If you wanted to connect to an other part of the "Internet", you either has to dial the phone number or if you were on one of these fangled Unix systems - you could use cu if the admin allowed you access.
There were no forums, you had to trawl the "usenet" groups if you were looking for something. So to me putting up with adverts, targeted or otherwise isn't a problem - it sometimes is beneficial even.
What I will say though - is that one thing has remained constant, through all the technology changes and upgrades is the ratio of conspiracy theorists - people who believe our privacy is being taken away. Simply not so, we are giving it up. A long time ago, I was told something. It was "Never say anything electronically that you wouldn't shout across a crowded room full of people who didn't like you!"
So if a few adds are so distressing, then maybe you should try an other medium for accessing the web.
Regards
Gull04

net::ldap::control::matchedvalues
Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues(3)
NAME
Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues - LDAPv3 MatchedValues Control
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues;
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );
$mv = Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues->new( matchedValues => '((sn=Jensen)(sn=Miller))' );
# return the entries of all people with first name "Babs",
# but only show the sn if it is "Jensen" or "Miller"
my $mesg = $ldap->search( base => "o=University of Michigan, c=US",
filter => "(givenName=Babs)",
attrs => [ qw/sn/ ],
control => $mv );
DESCRIPTION
"Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues" provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of objects that represent the "MatchedValues
Control" as described by RFC 3876.
The "MatchedValues Control", which only has a meaning with the "Search" operation, allows the client to specify criteria that restrict the
values of attributes returned. It has no effect on the number of objects found, but only allows one to restrict the values of the
attributes returned by the search to those matching the criteria.
CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
In addition to the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.
matchedValues => VALUESRETURNFILTER
A filter giving the criteria which attribute values shall be returned.
VALUESRETURNFILTER is a sequence of simple filter items of the form "( <ATTRSPEC> <OP> <VALUE> )" surrounded by an additional set of
parentheses; e.g.
((personsAge<=29))
Only return the age if is less than 30 ;-)
((cn=*Emergency*)(telephoneNumber=+1*)(telephoneNumber=911))
Only return those values of the cn that contain "Emergency", and phone numbers from North America including the one for emergency
calls.
METHODS
As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is also available as a method on the object which will return the
current value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
