See if entry exists

[Dan G. L. <dan...@ta...>]

I would like to quickly check if an entry exists in LDAP. I struggled to find 
a good solution. This is what I've come up with so far. It works for now, but 
I would like to hear if anyone has any suggestions on improvements. 

The idea is to start searching directly in the leafnode, and match any dn.

# See if the dn exists
$mesg = $ldap->search (
			base 	=> "$dn",
			filter	=> "dn=*" 
			);

I tried the $entry->exists('dn') without any luck. Any examples of working 
code using exists?
