SYNOPSIS
use No::Worries::DN qw(dn_parse dn_string);
$dn = dn_parse("/C=US/O=Acme Corporation/CN=John Doe");
$string = dn_string($dn, No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_JAVA);
DESCRIPTION
This module eases Distinguished Names (DNs) handling by providing
convenient functions to parse and convert DNs from and to different
formats. All the functions die() on error.
FUNCTIONS
This module provides the following functions (none of them being
exported by default):
dn_parse(STRING)
parse a string containing DN information and return an array
reference
dn_string(DN, FORMAT)
convert the given parsed DN (an array reference) into a string of
the given format, this is somehow the opposite of dn_parse()FORMATS
Here are the supported formats:
No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_RFC2253
this is the format defined by RFC 2253, for instance: "CN=John
Doe,O=Acme Corporation,C=US"
No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_JAVA
this is a variant of RFC 2253, with extra spaces, for instance:
"CN=John Doe, O=Acme Corporation, C=US"
No::Worries::DN::FORMAT_OPENSSL
this is the default format used by OpenSSL, for instance:
"/C=US/O=Acme Corporation/CN=John Doe"
