You *have* to do a search, as that's the only operation LDAP has which
returns entries to you.
However in your case you can just a base object search, with the base set to
the DN you know. Use a filter that is guaranteed to match (since entries
must have object classes, objectClass=* will match).
This is the correct way to "read" a single entry using LDAP:
$res = $ldap->search ( base => $mydn,
scope => 'base',
filter => '(objectClass=*)' );
my $entry = $res->entry(0);
Add error checking to suit :-)
