Was there a reason not to use ldapsearch or slapcat to extract the entries of
interest or the entire database into an LDIF file and then process with
Net::LDAP::LDIF?

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?
