want set the line-width used to implement filter in long strings 'OU'

openldap tools in:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/199912/msg00099.html
openldap it does not have support still.
	
Probably some method of Net::LDAP can do it, I'm investigating a
module or regex that can help me in this, any suggestion? thanks.

  Take a look at Net::LDAP::LDIF an option to new is called 'wrap' which is normally set to 78 (one space, 76 printing characters, and the newline for continuation lines) this should give you what you want.

    

I'm looking to replace  the following query to a Windows ADS for a
Perl sintax because the output is limited for line-width:
my $ldapsearch = "(ldapsearch - x - H ldap: To //$adserver - D "to
$aduser" - w $adpass - s sub - b "$baseDN"" (cn=*) '| grep - i "ou=" |
cut - d, - F2 | grep - v - i "CN= " | uniq)`

I want search in the directory for all entries firts level
OrganizationalUnit (ou) just now I'm using Mozilla::LDAP::Conn with
very good results, nevertheless, the searches are very slow, anyway
that just do right what I need, according to man:

use Mozilla::LDAP::Conn;
....
$conn = new Mozilla::LDAP::Conn($adserver,$adport,$aduser,$adpass);
die "LDAP not connect $adserver" unless ($conn);

&org_unit($baseDN);
exit(0);

sub org_unit()
{
my ($entry, $dn, $scope, $filter, $dn) = "";
my (@ouDN, @attrs) = ();

  @attrs = ( "ou" );
  $scope = "sub";
  $filter = "(ou=*)";

# Busca en el directorio las entradas ous
$entry = $conn->search($baseDN, $scope, $filter, 0, @attrs);
$cld = $conn->getLD();
$res = $conn->getRes();
$count = Mozilla::LDAP::API::ldap_count_entries($cld, $res);
while ($entry) {
        # Coloca en un array cada entrada DN
        $ouDN = $entry->getDN();
        push (@ouDN,$dn);
        print "$dn\n";
        $entry = $conn->nextEntry();
}
foreach $dn (@ouDNS)
 {
    &org_unit($dn)
 }
}


thanks for all.
  
You should use the Net::LDAP (perl-ldap) package. Make sure you use page mode access (pages are ~1000 entries for Windows 2000 and ~1500 for Windows 2003) and process each record in a call back. If you set the line wrap in the Net::LDAP::LDIF  object   you use to write the output you should get the results you want.

I have production code using this technology that will process over 120,000 records in less than 15 minutes from a moderately loaded Active Directory. So this should be good enough for what you want.
