Summary

I've seen that question asked at least twice on the mailing list: How do we check that a multi-valued ldap attribute contains a particular value.

The "official" answer is `$attr ~ /\bvalue\b/' but:

• Only perl monks understand this syntax anymore
• It doesn't work if $attr is a hashref / arrayref

We need an extended function to handle these cases gracefully. As a bonus if could also replace the defined hGroups->{'groupname'} syntax

Design proposition

listMatch($variable, 'value')

It should work with:

• arrayrefs
• hashrefs
• flat strings separated by multiValueSeparator
