Was the server sending back mangled values in the LDAPv2 case? In other
words, do you think this is a bug in Net::LDAP :-)

There's no way to set the default using the API, but basically you could do
something like this:

	$Net::LDAP::LDAP_VERSION = 3;

in your code, before binding. Doing this would mean your code could break
in future Net::LDAP releases, as this variable is not public.

It seems to me better simply to specify the LDAP version you want when you
bind - you are cleanly specifying what you want using a public API.
