.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`URI::ldap\*(C'\fR provides an interface to parse an \s-1LDAP URI\s0 into its
constituent parts and also to build a \s-1URI\s0 as described in
\&\s-1RFC 2255.\s0
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
\&\f(CW\*(C`URI::ldap\*(C'\fR supports all the generic and server methods defined by
\&\s-1URI\s0, plus the following.
.PP
Each of the following methods can be used to set or get the value in
the \s-1URI.\s0 The values are passed in unescaped form.  None of these
return undefined values, but elements without a default can be empty.
If arguments are given, then a new value is set for the given part
of the \s-1URI.\s0
.ie n .IP "$uri\->dn( [$new_dn] )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$uri\fR\->dn( [$new_dn] )" 4
.IX Item "$uri->dn( [$new_dn] )"
Sets or gets the \fIDistinguished Name\fR part of the \s-1URI. \s0 The \s-1DN\s0
identifies the base object of the \s-1LDAP\s0 search.
.ie n .IP "$uri\->attributes( [@new_attrs] )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$uri\fR\->attributes( [@new_attrs] )" 4
.IX Item "$uri->attributes( [@new_attrs] )"
Sets or gets the list of attribute names which are
returned by the search.
.ie n .IP "$uri\->scope( [$new_scope] )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$uri\fR\->scope( [$new_scope] )" 4
.IX Item "$uri->scope( [$new_scope] )"
Sets or gets the scope to be used by the search. The value can be one of
\&\f(CW"base"\fR, \f(CW"one"\fR or \f(CW"sub"\fR. If none is given in the \s-1URI\s0 then the
return value defaults to \f(CW"base"\fR.
.ie n .IP "$uri\->_scope( [$new_scope] )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$uri\fR\->_scope( [$new_scope] )" 4
.IX Item "$uri->_scope( [$new_scope] )"
Same as \fIscope()\fR, but does not default to anything.
.ie n .IP "$uri\->filter( [$new_filter] )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$uri\fR\->filter( [$new_filter] )" 4
.IX Item "$uri->filter( [$new_filter] )"
Sets or gets the filter to be used by the search. If none is given in
the \s-1URI\s0 then the return value defaults to \f(CW"(objectClass=*)"\fR.
.ie n .IP "$uri\->_filter( [$new_filter] )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$uri\fR\->_filter( [$new_filter] )" 4
.IX Item "$uri->_filter( [$new_filter] )"
Same as \fIfilter()\fR, but does not default to anything.
.ie n .IP "$uri\->extensions( [$etype => $evalue,...] )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$uri\fR\->extensions( [$etype => \f(CW$evalue\fR,...] )" 4
.IX Item "$uri->extensions( [$etype => $evalue,...] )"
Sets or gets the extensions used for the search. The list passed should
be in the form etype1 => evalue1, etype2 => evalue2,... This is also
the form of list that is returned.
