                               # search)
      );

      1;

      # In your controller

DESCRIPTION
    This is the Net::LDAP model class for Catalyst. It is nothing more than
    a simple wrapper for Net::LDAP.

    This class simplifies LDAP searches by letting you configure a base DN.
    Other Net::LDAP methods are supported via Perl's AUTOLOAD mechanism.

METHODS
  new
    Create a new Catalyst LDAP model component.

  _client
    Bind the client using the current configuration and return it.

  _execute
    Execute the specified LDAP command.
