However, to use it best, you have to let Perl know which strings are UTF-8. LDAPv3 is supposed to hold UTF-8 strings for _most_ attributes, but not all. Net::LDAP Subversion has rudimentary support for UTF-8 by letting you specify a "raw" regex identifying those attributes which are _not_ UTF-8, so the utf8 flags is turned on on the strings returned. Something similar would be great. Reproducible: Always
