NAME
       Net::LDAP::Control::Paged - LDAPv3 Paged results control object

SYNOPSIS
	use Net::LDAP;
	use Net::LDAP::Control::Paged;
	use Net::LDAP::Constant qw( LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED );

	$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

	$page = Net::LDAP::Control::Paged->new( size => 100 );

	@args = ( base	   => "cn=subnets,cn=sites,cn=configuration,$BASE_DN",
		  scope	   => "subtree",
		  filter   => "(objectClass=subnet)",
		  callback => \&process_entry, # Call this sub for each entry
		  control  => [ $page ],
	);

	my $cookie;
	while(1) {
	  # Perform search
	  my $mesg = $ldap->search( @args );

	  # Only continue on LDAP_SUCCESS
	  $mesg->code and last;

	  # Get cookie from paged control
	  my($resp)  = $mesg->control( LDAP_CONTROL_PAGED ) or last;
	  $cookie    = $resp->cookie or last;

	  # Set cookie in paged control
	  $page->cookie($cookie);
	}

	if ($cookie) {
	  # We had an abnormal exit, so let the server know we do not want any more
	  $page->cookie($cookie);
	  $page->size(0);
	  $ldap->search( @args );
	}

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::Con-
       trol 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 cur-
       rent value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a
       new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
