NAME
Net::LDAP::Filter - representation of LDAP filters SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Filter; $filter = Net::LDAP::Filter->new( $filter_str ); DESCRIPTION
The Net::LDAP::Filter object lets you directly manipulate LDAP filters without worrying about the string representation and all the associated escaping mechanisms. CONSTRUCTOR
new ( FILTER ) Create a new object and parse FILTER. METHODS
parse ( FILTER ) Parse FILTER. The next call to ber will return this filter encoded. as_string Return the filter in text form. print ( [ FH ] ) Print the text representation of the filter to FH, or the currently selected output handle if FH is not given. FILTER SYNTAX
Below is the syntax for a filter given in RFC 4515 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4515.txt filter = "(" filtercomp ")" filtercomp = and / or / not / item and = "&" filterlist or = "|" filterlist not = "!" filter filterlist = 1*filter item = simple / present / substring / extensible simple = attr filtertype value filtertype = equal / approx / greater / less equal = "=" approx = "~=" greater = ">=" less = "<=" extensible = attr [":dn"] [":" matchingrule] ":=" value / [":dn"] ":" matchingrule ":=" value present = attr "=*" substring = attr "=" [initial] any [final] initial = value any = "*" *(value "*") final = value attr = AttributeDescription from Section 4.1.4 of RFC 4511 matchingrule = MatchingRuleId from Section 4.1.8 of RFC 4511 value = AttributeValue from Section 4.1.5 of RFC 4511 Special Character encodings --------------------------- * 2a, * ( 28, ( ) 29, ) 5c, \ NUL 0 SEE ALSO

NAME
Net::LDAP::Filter - representation of LDAP filters SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Filter; $filter = Net::LDAP::Filter->new( $filter_str ); DESCRIPTION
The Net::LDAP::Filter object lets you directly manipulate LDAP filters without worrying about the string representation and all the associated escaping mechanisms. CONSTRUCTOR
new ( [ FILTER ] ) Create a new object. If FILTER is given, parse it. METHODS
parse ( FILTER ) Parse FILTER, updating the object to represent it. as_string Return the filter in text form. print ( [ FH ] ) Print the text representation of the filter to FH, or the currently selected output handle if FH is not given. negate ( ) Logically negate/invert the filter object so that it matches the opposite set of entries as the original. Instead of simply negating the text form by surrounding it with the not operator, the negation is done by recursively applying De Morgan's law. Here is an example: (|(&(cn=A)(cn=B))(|(!(cn=C))(cn=D))) gets negated to (&(|(!(cn=A))(!(cn=B)))(&(cn=C)(!(cn=D)))) FILTER SYNTAX
