Net::LDAP::Extra - phpMan

NAME
    Net::LDAP::Extra -- Load extra Net::LDAP methods

SYNOPSIS
      use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(my_extn);

      $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( ... );

      $ldap->my_extn( ... );

DESCRIPTION
    "Net::LDAP::Extra" allows extra methods to be added to Net::LDAP.
    Normally such methods would be added by sub-classing Net::LDAP, but this
    proves to get messy as different people write different additions and
    others want to use multiple of these sub-classes. Users end up having to
    create sub-classes of their own which inherit from all the extension
    sub-classes just so they can get all the features.

    "Net::LDAP::Extra" allows methods to be added directly to all Net::LDAP
    objects. This can be done by creating a class "Net::LDAP::Extra::name"
    which exports functions. A "use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(name)" will then
    make these functions available as a methods on all "Net::LDAP" objects.

    Care should be taken when choosing names for the functions to export to
    ensure that they do not clash with others.
