\& use Net::LDAP;
\& use Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion;
\&
\& $ldap = Net::LDAP\->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );
\&
\& $assert = Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion\->new( assertion => \*(Aq(sn=Jensen)\*(Aq );

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAP::Control::Assertion\*(C'\fR provides an interface for the creation and
manipulation of objects that represent the \f(CW\*(C`Assertion Control\*(C'\fR as described
by RFC 4528.
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`Assertion Control\*(C'\fR allows the client to specify a condition, an assertion,
that must be TRUE for the operation to be processed normally.
Otherwise, the operation is not performed.
For instance, the control can be used with the Modify operation to perform
atomic "test and set" and "test and clear" operations.
.PP
The control is appropriate for both LDAP interrogation and update operations,
including Add, Compare, Delete, Modify, ModifyDN (rename), and Search.
.SH "CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS"
In addition to the constructor arguments described in
Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.
.IP "assertion => FILTER" 4
.IX Item "assertion => FILTER"
A filter specifying the assertion that must evaluate to TRUE in order to make the
operation process normally.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument
described above is also available as a method on the object which will
return the current value for the attribute if called without an argument,
and set a new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
