I have seen examples on how to receive sorted and paged results using
LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED and LDAP_CONTROL_SORTREQUEST , however, I do not know
how to use a change tracking control such as PSearch (Persistent Search)
that is provided by the active directory using Net::LDAP::Control.
I don't think anyone has written Net::LDAP::Control::PSearch yet, but if someone does I would include it.
The POD will need to point out the caveats of a persistent search though. It is
a seach that never ends until it is abandoned. So the user *must* use callbacks
Also if the script needs todo other work then it will have to be called in async
mode and select() will have to be used on the socket.
