DESCRIPTION

At the moment this module only reads and writes DSML entry entities. It cannot process any schema entities because schema entities are processed differently than elements.

Eventually this module will be a full level 2 consumer and producer enabling you to give you full DSML conformance.

The module uses callbacks to improve performance (at least the appearance of improving performance ;) and to reduce the amount of memory required to parse large DSML files. Every time a single entry or schema is processed we pass the Net::LDAP object (either an Entry or Schema object) to the callback routine.
