Using LDIF file with Net::LDAP

Hi Friends,

I guess we all know that using ldif files we can add or modify the directory
contents using OpenLDAP command line applications as shown below:
E.G: ldapadd -v -x -D "cn=admin,dc=nodomain" -H ldap://192.168.1.31:389 *-f
add_org.ldif* -W

Now "Net::LDAP' provides "add" method which takes the attributes to be
added. It also provides "modify" method along with many other useful
methods.

I was refering the documentation (
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net/LDAP.pod) and I couldn't
find a way to provide a ldif file as an input parameter to the methods like
"add" or "modify".

I just wanted to know if it is possible provide "ldif" files as an input
parameter to various functions of Net::LDAP (just as we can do with the
command "ldapadd")

If no then I guess we have to use Net::LDAP::LDIF.

Cheers,
Parag
