Desktop application with Perl

Ever wondered how to create pretty looking windowing applications without perltk? The answer is wxPerl. wxPerl is a perl module that allows a Perl program to use the wxWidgets GUI toolkit. If you don't know anything about Perl or wxWidgets, you may find a short explanation below. If you want to learn more, go to wxWidgets. In short wxPerl allows you to write portable GUI applications in Perl, using the wxWidgets object oriented interface. Look at the screenshots.

wxWidgets

wxWidgets gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms. Link with the appropriate library for your platform (Windows/Unix/Mac) and compiler (almost any popular C++ compiler), and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform. On top of great GUI functionality, wxWidgets gives you: online help, network programming, streams, clipboard and drag and drop, multithreading, image loading and saving in a variety of popular formats, database support, HTML viewing and printing, and much much more.

ldapsearch encoding issues

Ever wondered why your ldapsearch results are base64 encoded for some values? ldapsearch does a base64 encoding while returning values if there is a space in the end or in the front. It also encodes the value when there is a special character in the value. To get the proper decoded value I would recommend using Net::LDAP which decodes the value while returning via Net::LDAP::Entry

Operational LDAP attributes

Net::LDAP search don't return operational attributes by default. Then how to get operational attributes like createTimestamp, modifyTimestamp from Net::LDAP search ?. Specifying '*' in the attrs list will get the operational parameters. But Net::LDAP documentation says, '+' is used by some servers to request "all operational attributes".

$mesg = $ldap->search( ... ,
attrs => [
'*',
'createTimestamp',
'creatorsName',
'modifiersName',
'modifyTimestamp'
]
);

Net::LDAP made ldap interaction easy

Net::LDAP module by Graham Barr made Perl interaction with LDAP server very easy. This module is rated 4 stars as some folks feel this module is little slow. I would definitely rate 5 star for this module.

This module can be used to build tools to convert directory data to other format such as csv. This can also be used to convert ldif data to other system format.

Review for this module is available in cpanratings.perl.org

Module can be downloded from cpan

There is a pretty good document on how to use Net::LDAP in perlmonks
