.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAP::Extra\*(C'\fR allows extra methods to be added to Net::LDAP.
Normally such methods would be added by sub-classing Net::LDAP, but this
proves to get messy as different people write different additions and
others want to use multiple of these sub-classes. Users end up having
to create sub-classes of their own which inherit from all the extension
sub-classes just so they can get all the features.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAP::Extra\*(C'\fR allows methods to be added directly to
all Net::LDAP objects. This can be done by creating a class
\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAP::Extra::name\*(C'\fR which exports functions. A
\&\f(CW\*(C`use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(name)\*(C'\fR will then make these functions available
as a methods on all \f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAP\*(C'\fR objects.
.PP
Care should be taken when choosing names for the functions to export
to ensure that they do not clash with others.
