313784 - Add support for asynchronous searches

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Directory Graveyard :: PerLDAP, enhancement)

Description

[Rich Megginson]

PerLDAP needs a perl interface to the ldap_search/ldap_search_ext/ldap_search_st C interfaces so that several simultaneous async searches can be started, results iterated over, and closed/abandoned.

Attachment: Diffs for fix

Add a new method called async_search() which takes the same arguments as search().  The new method returns an internal package/class called SearchIter which is used to get the search result code, to iterate through the search results, and to abandon the search if finished iterating before getting the last result (e.g. we found the entry we were looking for, so we don't need anymore results).  Also updated the POD docs with the new methods.
