On other operations it will \- depending on the value of the parameter \&\f(CW\*(C`critical\*(C'\fR \- either be ignored or lead to errors. .SH "CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS" .IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS" In addition to the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided. .IP cookie 4 .IX Item "cookie" The value to use as the cookie. This is not normally set when an object is created, but is set from the cookie value returned by the server. This associates a search with a previous search, so the server knows to return the page of entries following the entries it returned the previous time. .IP size 4 .IX Item "size" The page size that is required. This is the maximum number of entries that the server will return to the search request. .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. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Net::LDAP, Net::LDAP::Control, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2696.txt .SH AUTHOR .IX Header "AUTHOR" Graham Barr .PP Please report any bugs, or post any suggestions, to the perl-ldap mailing list .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright (c) 2000\-2004 Graham Barr.
