Overview

"Net::LDAP::Extension::Cancel" implements the "Cancel" extended LDAPv3 operation as described in RFC 3909.

The "Cancel" extended operation is very similar to the "Abandon" standard operation, and has the same call signature. Unlike the "Abandon" operation, it has a response which provides an indication of its outcome.

It implements no object by itself but extends the Net::LDAP object by another method:

Methods

cancel ( OPERATION, OPTIONS )

Cancel an outstanding operation. "OPERATION" may be a number or an object which is a sub-class of Net::LDAP::Message, returned from a previous method call.

OPTIONS is a list of key/value pairs. The following keys are recognized:

control => CONTROL

control => [ CONTROL, .. ]

Control(s) to be passed to the operation.
