Subject: Net::LDAP read/write pre-dn info?

Graham,

Is there a way using the Net::LDAP module to read/write pre-dn lines in 
Net::LDAP? The ldif would be like this (also attached: sample.ldif.txt):

replica: 163.185.18.246:392
time: 1028702892
dn: cn=Francois Leclerc  102494,ou=employee,o=slb,c=AN
changetype: add
cn: Francois Leclerc  102494
sn: Leclerc
creatorsname: cn=LDAP Admin  100000,ou=role,o=SLB,c=AN
createtimestamp: 19990331160616Z
modifytimestamp: 19990426111958Z
modifiersname: cn=ldap admin  100000,ou=role,o=SLB,c=AN
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: entrustUser
objectclass: account



Specifically, I would like to read/write the timestamp that is tacked on to 
the change ldif by the ldap server process (slapd). I ask because I am 
writing a script that reads the change ldifs (in Innosoft's replog file/ 
SunOne's audit file) which have been processed by the slapd, and filters 
them, writing out only some dns and attributes to a file. For this purpose, 
I also have to add replica information to the ldif. Both timestamp and 
replica lines are before the dn. If Net::LDAP does not contain this 
functionality, do you know of any work arounds?

One more question: do you know where I can find documentation on the newer 
methods in Net::LDAP, the pods being slightly behind the times...

thanks,
Reena
