I had a requirement to extract 30+ million entries from an ldap server, and 
naively thought that using callbacks would be useful.

While they are useful in getting me each result quickly, I didn't realise that 
Search still captures each result in self. So after reading several million 
entries Linux's oom killer kindly killed a) the ldap server and then b) my 
script to try and get back some memory!

I ended up patching Search.pm to avoid capturing each result when using 
callbacks. Is there a better way to do this?

Cheers,

Chris
