DESCRIPTION
"Net::LDAP::Control::Paged" provides an interface for the creation and
manipulation of objects that represent the "pagedResultsControl" as
described by RFC-2696.
CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
In addition to the constructor arguments described in
Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.
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.
size
The page size that is required. This is the maximum number of
entries that the server will return to the search request.
METHODS
As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is
also avaliable 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.
