Re: utf8

[Mark W. <mew...@un...>]

as I understand it (I"m sure Chris or Kurt will correct me :), the
'native' string format for LDAP 3 is utf8.

Many LDAP APIs use utf8 internally, but Net::LDAP isn't one of them
because Perl doesn't have true, native support for utf8 yet (it's better
in 5.6, but don't use 5.6, it's buggy & Net::LDAP is great bug bait for
5.6).

Until then, you might have to do something like you showed below.
