It would be easiest for Net::LDAP to copy the descriptions verbatim.
But this might not be legal as perl-ldap uses the Perl license
(Artistic / GPL dual license IIRC) while the RFCs might be under
a different license.

Can you grant perl-ldap the right to use the LDAP error code
descriptions from the RFC verbatim and re-distribute them under the
Perl license ?
If you're not in the position to do so, can you point me into the right 
direction whom to ask ?

Thanks in advance
Peter
