Net::LDAP::Control::MaUserdContributed PerNet::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues(3)

NAME
       Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues - LDAPv3 MatchedValues Control

SYNOPSIS
	use Net::LDAP;
	use Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues;

	$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

	$mv = Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues->new( matchedValues => '((sn=Jensen)(sn=Miller))' );

	# return the entries of all people with first name "Babs",
	# but only show the sn if it is "Jensen" or "Miller"
	my $mesg = $ldap->search( base => "o=University of Michigan, c=US",
				  filter => "(givenName=Babs)",
				  attrs => [ qw/sn/ ],
				  control => $mv );

DESCRIPTION
       "Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues" provides an interface for the
       creation and manipulation of objects that represent the "MatchedValues
       Control" as described by RFC 3876.

       The "MatchedValues Control", which only has a meaning with the "Search"
       operation, allows the client to specify criteria that restrict the
       values of attributes returned.  It has no effect on the number of
       objects found, but only allows one to restrict the values of the
       attributes returned by the search to those matching the criteria.

CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
       In addition to the constructor arguments described in
       Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.

       matchedValues => VALUESRETURNFILTER
	   A filter giving the criteria which attribute values shall be
	   returned.

	   VALUESRETURNFILTER is a sequence of simple filter items of the form
	   "( <ATTRSPEC> <OP> <VALUE> )" surrounded by an additional set of
	   parentheses; e.g.

	   ((personsAge<=29))
	       Only return the age if is less than 30 ;-)

	   ((cn=*Emergency*)(telephoneNumber=+1*)(telephoneNumber=911))
	       Only return those values of the cn that contain "Emergency",
	       and phone numbers from North America including the one for
	       emergency calls.

METHODS
       As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is
       also available as a method on the object which will return the current
       value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new
       value for the attribute if called with an argument.
