Hi Matt,
please have a look at the patches in
* https://github.com/gbarr/perl-ldap/pull/3
* https://github.com/gbarr/perl-ldap/pull/4
on Graham's perl-ldap git repository.
In addition to fixing the issue they should add a few other minor glitches as
well as adding some new Controls.
The former one is already included in the next branch of the perl-ldap repo.
For ther latter I'm still hoping that Graham will do the same, and after that
realease a new version.
It would be cool you reported feedback on the mailing list
