Hmm.. so how do you set the rid in this case ?

If the inial value of the cookie is "" when creating
Net::LDAP::Control::SyncRequest then the server must create the actual
cookie value?

Also if using this approach, i presume the server will need to create a
contextCSN, how does the perl client tell the ldap server the rid to use in
the contextCSN ?

I can't see any mention of anything like a rid parameter on the perl client
side.
