SYNOPSIS

10         use Net::LDAP::Filter;
11         use Net::LDAP::FilterMatch;
12
13         my $entry = new Net::LDAP::Entry;
14         $entry->dn("cn=dummy entry");
15         $entry->add (
16          'cn' => 'dummy entry',
17          'street' => [ '1 some road','nowhere' ] );
18
19         my @filters = (qw/(cn=dummy*)
20                        (ou=*)
21                        (&(cn=dummy*)(street=*road))
22                        (&(cn=dummy*)(!(street=nowhere)))/);
23
24         for (@filters) {
25           my $filter = Net::LDAP::Filter->new($_);
26           print $_,' : ', $filter->match($entry) ? 'match' : 'no match' ,"\n";
27         }

ABSTRACT

30       This extension of the class Net::LDAP::Filter provides entry matching
31       functionality on the Perl side.
32
33       Given an entry it will tell whether the entry matches the filter
34       object.
35
36       It can be used on its own or as part of a Net::LDAP::Server based LDAP
37       server.
38

METHOD

40       match ( ENTRY [ ,SCHEMA ] )
41           Return whether ENTRY matches the filter object. If a schema object
42           is provided, the selection of matching algorithms will be derived
43           from schema.
44
45           In case of error undef is returned.
46
47       For approximate matching like (cn~=Schmidt) there are several modules
48       that can be used. By default the following modules will be tried in
49       this order:
50
51         String::Approx
52         Text::Metaphone
53         Text::Soundex
54
55       If none of these modules is found it will fall back on a simple regexp
56       algorithm.
57
58       If you want to specifically use one implementation only, simply do
59
60         use Net::LDAP::FilterMatch qw(Text::Soundex);
