Re: dump method for binary values

[Graham B. <gb...@po...>]

The dump method on an entry was added a long time ago as a temporary measure
as at that time Net::LDAP::LDIF did not exist.

Either we need to get people to call

  Net::LDAP::LDIF(*STDERR)->write($entry)

or the dump method should be changed to do that.
