Only in perl >= 5.8. Perl 5.6 and earlier won't support this syntax, so I
would advise against using this to implement and ldif() method unless you are OK
with breaking compatibility with older perls...
5.8.0 was released nearly 8 years ago. Anyone who is still using a version of
perl that old will not mind using an old version of Net::LDAP IMO.
It doesn't present any syntactic difficulties for old perls (it will
compile and execute the statement; it just won't store or read any
data), so perhaps having a runtime version check that carps an
appropriate warning would be appropriate.
