Re: AD password change with Net::LDAP

As Graham Barr once put it so eloquently:

> );
[...]

Actually, this inspired me to a more "correct" solution for my problem 
below: instead of doing $entry->update, do something like

  my @changes = $entry->changes();
  &munge_changes(\@changes);
  $ldap->modify($entry, changes => \@changes);
