Using OpenLDAP 2.0.7 now, I know that the client tools ldapmodify and
ldapdelete use the Control "ManageDsaIT". I tried this one, but didn't
succeed:
-----
$ldap->delete("ref=\"ldap://asser/c=us,o=epigenomics\",o=epigenomics",
  control => {type => "ManageDsaIT", value => 1} );

Any hint?

Thanks in advance!
