One thing you need to do that the docs leave out is use
Net::LDAP::Control.  All of the controls inherit methods (look at @ISA)
from Control.pm (new is one of them).  If you don't use or require
Net::LDAP::Control, you won't get those methods.

The controls (Sort.pm, VLV.pm, etc.) should probably 'use
Net::LDAP::Control'.
