Home: Perl Programming Help: Intermediate: -&gt

kc5jnz New User Jan 4, 2006, 1:13 AM Post #1 of 5 (611 views) -&gt Can't Post I had been looking for some perl code to give me all the computer names is an AD forest. "Active Directory Cookbook" by Robbie Allen as the exact item I need, except that perl is choking on the source code. Specifically the -&gt calls as in $intObj = Math::BigInt->new($sixmonth_secs); What is the -&gt call?

This is how class and object methods are called in Perl. In your example, "Math::BigInt" is a class and "new" is the constructor method. Calling Math::BigInt->new constructs a new Math::BigInt object and returns a reference to it. You can then call object methods on that object also using the -> syntax, for example, $intObj->is_neg(). See the Math::BigInt docs for more information. -- Dave Cross, Perl Hacker, Trainer and Writer http://www.dave.org.uk/ Get more help at Perl Monks

I tried -> when I initially looked at the script & believed it to be in error. in this please note the semi colon between -&gt and the GetObject. In this code, also introduced is the &lt (and no function). If I am in the wrong section for this post, my apologies. # Adapted from VBScript code contained in the book: # "Active Directory Cookbook" by Robbie Allen # Publisher: O'Reilly and Associates # ISBN: 0-596-00466-4 # Book web site: http://rallenhome.com/books/adcookbook/code.html # --------------------------------------------------------------- use Win32::OLE 'in'; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; my $objOU = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://<OrgUnitDN>"); foreach my $objChildObject (in $objOU) { print $objChildObject->Name,"\n"; }

I don't know how you are accessing this code, but something is failing to convert these entities into their text equivalents. -- Dave Cross, Perl Hacker, Trainer and Writer http://www.dave.org.uk/ Get more help at Perl Monks
