Both of these are still under developement, so feel free to give any feedback.

Paged should work something like

  $paged = Net::LDAP::Control::Paged->new( size => 10 );

  $mesg = $ldap->search( control => [ $paged ], .... );

  $ctrl = $mesg->control( LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED );

  $paged->cookie($ctrl->cookie) if $ctrl;

  $mesg = $ldap->search( control => [ $paged ], .... );

VLV takes these arguments

  $vlv = Net::LDAP::Control::VLV->new(
    before  => $beforeCount,
    after   => $afterCount,
    assert  => $assertValue,
    offset  => $offset,
    content => $contentCount,
    context => $contextID,   # just noticed a bug that this is missing from new()
  );

If assert is present offset and content are not used. There are methods
by the same names for setting the values. 

In the response you will get a LDAP_CONTROL_VLVRESPONSE which will have
methods target, result, content and context
