Dear Philip,
thank you for the fix. I'll forward it to Perl's LDAP List and Graham.
@Graham: could you add the attached fix to Net::LDAP::LDIF?
Thank you in advance.
- Chris

Or, you could submit the one line fix to have
Net::LDAP::LDIF->new($file, $mode, { encode => 'canonical' })
pass "{ mbcescape => 1 }" to canonical_dn().
(Some might also consider it a bug that Net::LDAP::LDIF doesn't default to
RFC conforming output but rather requires you to explicitly request it.)
