NAME

6       No::Worries::DN - Distinguished Names handling without worries
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use No::Worries::DN qw(dn_parse dn_string);
10
11         $dn = dn_parse("/C=US/O=Acme Corporation/CN=John Doe");
12         $string = dn_string($dn, No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_JAVA);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This module eases Distinguished Names (DNs) handling by providing
16       convenient functions to parse and convert DNs from and to different
17       formats. All the functions die() on error.
18

FUNCTIONS

20       This module provides the following functions (none of them being
21       exported by default):
22
23       dn_parse(STRING)
24           parse a string containing DN information and return an array
25           reference
26
27       dn_string(DN, FORMAT)
28           convert the given parsed DN (an array reference) into a string of
29           the given format, this is somehow the opposite of dn_parse()
30

FORMATS

32       Here are the supported formats:
33
34       No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_RFC2253
35           this is the format defined by RFC 2253, for instance: "CN=John
36           Doe,O=Acme Corporation,C=US"
37
38       No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_JAVA
39           this is a variant of RFC 2253, with extra spaces, for instance:
40           "CN=John Doe, O=Acme Corporation, C=US"
41
42       No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_OPENSSL
43           this is the default format used by OpenSSL, for instance:
44           "/C=US/O=Acme Corporation/CN=John Doe"
