98589 - PerLDAP ::Conn->search() fails but ::API succeeds

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Directory :: PerLDAP, defect)

Description

[Eric Schult]

Attempting to perform a search with the 'examples/qsearch.pl' script fails (no
error, no results).   The same search with 'test_api/search.pl' works.  I am
using Perl 5.004_04 + PerLDAP 1.4.1 + the Netscape C SDK 4.14 connecting to
Netscape Directory Server 4.12.  I built PerLDAP from scratch w/ gcc 2.95.2.

Trussing the qsearch.pl script shows that the results are being returned as
expected:

truss -r3 -t !all perl examples/qsearch.pl -b o=e-globallink.com -h

I reverted to PerLDAP 1.4 and kept everything else the same, and now it works.

Happy to provide additional info  (about the bug, that is).

Me too.

AIX box. Reverting to 1.4.0 fixed the problem

Can you try the development branch (devel-branch-1_4_2) see if this is still a
problem? If so, please reopen this bug.

Since devel-branch-1_4_2 's Makefile.PL requires 5.005, I can't re-test my
original case w/ 5.004_04. 

I re-tested my original case using perldap-1.4.1 and a newer perl (5.8.5) and
gc(3.2.3), which worked correctly.   The identical envrionment EXCEPT perl
5.004_04 (w/ gcc 323) failed as my original environment failed.

Apologies for the apparent red-herring, as the newer perl seems to have fixed
the issue.
