# Net::LDAP::Extension::Refresh(3pm)

LDAPv3 Refresh extension object (RFC 2589)

## NAME

Net::LDAP::Extension::Refresh - LDAPv3 Refresh extension object (RFC 2589)

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use Net::LDAP;
 use Net::LDAP::Extension::Refresh;
 $ldap = Net::LDAP->new('localhost');
 $ldap->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', password => 'password');
 $mesg = $ldap->refresh(entryName => 'cn=dynamic,dc=example,dc=com',
        requestTtl => 100);
 die "error :", $mesg->code(), ": ", $mesg->error()  if ($mesg->code());
 print "TTL changed to ", $mesg->get_ttl(), "\n";
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"Net::LDAP::Extension::Refresh"` implements the `"Refresh"` extended LDAPv3 operation as described in RFC 2589

It implements no object by itself but extends the Net::LDAP object by another method:

## METHODS

- refresh ( OPTIONS )

  Send a refresh operation for an object.

  OPTIONS is a list of key/value pairs. The following keys are recognized:

  - entryName

    This option contains the object to refresh. It must be a DN.

  - requestTtl

    This option contains the TTL in seconds requested. The server may choose to set another value as stated in RFC 2589

- get\_ttl ( )

  Return the TTL set by the server during the previous `"refresh"` call.

  This method is a method of the Net::LDAP::Message response object returned in reply to `refresh()` in case the `refresh()` call succeeded.
