Problem query without filter

[Adrien D. <adr...@fr...>]

Hello,
(sorry for my poor English, I'm french !)

First of all, I'd like to thank you for this cool and simple module (which doesn't need to get any other SDK installed).
But... I've got a little problem (notice I'm not an experienced LDAP user, and I'm running openldap 2.0.18, perl 5.601, perl-ldap 0.25) :

1) With a "normal" LDAP request (ldapsearch -x, for example) without filter, I get _every_ record under the base object (since the query is not filtered).

But with perl-ldap (take for example the code below), I can't get anything if I don't specify a filter in the query, or if I specify "", or "*", or anything else (I get "Bad filter at ./LDAPtest2.pl"). That means I gan't get the whole tree in a simple request...
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new("adrien.mandrakesoft.com", onerror=>"die", version=>3, timeout=>5) or die "$@";
my $result = $ldap->search(base=>"dc=example,dc=com", scope=>"one", attrs=>['*']);    #No more results (same filter error) with filter=>"", filter=>"*", filter=>"dn=*", filter=>"dn", etc...
foreach $entr ($result->entries) {print "dn: ", $entr->dn, "\n";}

Can you help me ?

2) Another (lillte) thing with the version :
a 'print "version LDAP : ",$ldap->version,"\n";' simply return the string passed in the "version=>" argument. That means if I do

$ldap = Net::LDAP->new("adrien.mandrakesoft.com", onerror=>"die", version=>"stupid_string", timeout=>5) or die "$@";
print "version LDAP : ",$ldap->version,"\n"; #to verify the LDAP protocol used

I get "version LDAP : stupid_string" and everything continues whereas the script should die with an error like "unrecognized protocol".

How can I then check the _real_ protocol used ?

For your main problem, a filter that will always find everything is
  objectClass=*

I haven't used the version options.
