Note that I prefer the archive at:
  http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl-ldap/

The SourceForge one subtly munges messages, particularly ones with
code.  In particular, apostrophes (') are turned into backticks (`)
and newlines escapes (\n) are removed (and probably other escapes as
well).  The xray archive does not have that problem.  I emailed the
SourceForge maintainers about the apostrophes and got this response:
  Well, it's not done just for the fun of it. You can't easily insert
  ' into a database, so they are converted.

To see what I mean, compare these two:
