The doc is ambiguous about the argument to the entry( INDEX ) method of a
Net::LDAP::Search object. Is the INDEX 0-based or 1-based?
Below, I'm referring to the CPAN documentation for Net::LDAP::Search 0.14
and Net::LDAP::Entry 0.25.
On the Net::LDAP::Search doc it says that entry( N ) will return the Nth
entry, or undef if N "is greater than the total number of entries". This
implies that it is 1-based.
On the Net::LDAP::Entry doc, the synopsis uses an example with the entry()
method on the search result:
my $max = $mesg->count;
for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $max ; $i++ ) {
my $entry = $mesg->entry ( $i );
}
This is explicitly 0-based.
Can you clarify in the doc (and to the mailing list) which is the correct
interpretation?
Sincerely,
Zachary Hanson-Hart

Hi,
A short script gives the answer: it is zero-based.
A fix of the Net::LDAP::Search man page will be in the next release.
