Hi,

Please have a look at
* Net::LDAP::Entry->update
   I consider it the better interface as it does not create an Net::LDAP::=
LDIF imstande vor every call=2E
   This method supports everything you need with an appropriately opened L=
DIF object
* The changes in https://github=2Ecom/marschap/perl-ldap/tree/next
   I expect this to become the next perl-ldap release=2E
   Please test the changes in Net::LDAP::Entry=2E
   Improvement ideas welcome=2E
   Especially if they hinder the user from making stupid mistakes like cal=
ling LDIF(version=3D>1)
