You may want to install Convert::EBCDIC

I am not sure we can do it all inside Net::LDAP. This is because Net::LDAP
does not know what the value of an attribute holds. However there probably
places where it can help, for example filter strings and attribute names.

But everything else would need to be converted by the application as needed
