Wow, someone read the FAQ :)

Well I have been having problems with mail since Friday, so if you have sent it
I ahve not got it yet.

Well some people see it as a bad thing that Net::LDAP is still changing this much,
but other see it as good.

But then Net::LDAP is still very early in it's life and trying to find direction. Even
though it has now been around for over two years.

Hopefully with more people being interested and contributing Net::LDAP can find
it's direction and settle down. Who knows we may someday release version 1.00 :)
