$entry->update with utf8 strings

[HP D. <hin...@gm...>]

hi all

i've got some problems here with perl-ldap and utf8 strings. if i'm calling update on an Net::LDAP::Entry object with some attributes as utf8 strings, the servers complains about an invalid syntax.

but a
$ldap->modify($entry, changes => [ replace => [ attribute => $string ] ] );
(where $string is the utf8 encoded string)
works as expected. 

as i can see from the sources of LDAP::Entry, the update method does quite the same.

so does anybody know, what i'm doing wrong here?

thans, hp
