The server is free to ignore any controls that are not marked as
'critical'. You may want to create it this way and see what happens:

$vlv = Net::LDAP::Control::VLV->new(
           before => 0,    # No entries before target entry
           after => 1,     # number of entries after target entry
           content => 0,   #If set to 0, list size is unknown
           offset => 1,    # Target entry is the first
           critical => 1   # Return an error if VLV is not permitted
);

Cheers,

Chris
