Net::LDAP allows you to use all of the LDAPv3 controls and extended 
operations by providing an ASN.1 parser.  I personally like the OO 
interface of Net::LDAP.

Mozilla::LDAP is a wrapper around the C libraries, so it is as much as a 
factor of 10 faster.  So if you need as much performance as you can get, 
use it instead of Net::LDAP which is native perl.  Also, if you want to 
use Mozilla NSS for crypto, you must use Mozilla::LDAP - Net::LDAP uses 
Net::SSLeay which is a wrapper around openssl.
