Hi,
I'm writing the module to manage Active Directory using Net-LDAP.
Basically it just contains wrapper methods to easily
add/change/get/remove accounts, minding the specific AD stuff. Maybe
it could be useful for others in which case I would upload it on CPAN.
Since it's based on perl-ldap, I was thinking, should it be part of
it? E. g. Net::LDAP::Extra::Foo . Would you be interested in
integrating it? Or since it's a wrapper, not something that adds real
functionality, it should be a separate module and not contain any
Net::LDAP prefix in the name?
Cheers,
VL

Have you looked at Net::LDAP::Class? There's AD-specific User and Group
classes there too.

Oh, now I feel like I have invented a bike! Thanks for pointing out

Net::LDAP::Class! I think it does everything my module allows + tons
more. :-D
