1Differences from 2.0 Perl API:
2
3- Perl 5.6 is supported
4
5- backend methods return actual LDAP result codes, not
6  true/false; this gives the Perl module finer control
7  of the error returned to the client
8
9- a filterSearchResults configuration file directive was
10  added to tell the backend glue that the results returned
11  from the Perl module are candidates only
12
13- the "init" method is called after the backend has been
14  initialized - this lets you do some initialization after
15  *all* configuration file directives have been read
16
17- the interface for the search method is improved to
18  pass the scope, deferencing policy, size limit, etc.
19  See SampleLDAP.pm for details.
