=head1 NAME
Net::LDAP::Message - Message response from LDAP server
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Net::LDAP::Message> is a base class for the objects returned by the
L<Net::LDAP> methods
L<abandon|Net::LDAP/item_abandon>,
L<add|Net::LDAP/item_add>,
L<bind|Net::LDAP/item_bind>,
L<compare|Net::LDAP/item_compare>,
L<delete|Net::LDAP/item_delete>,
L<modify|Net::LDAP/item_modify>,
L<moddn|Net::LDAP/item_moddn>,
L<search|Net::LDAP/item_search> and
L<unbind|Net::LDAP/item_unbind>.
The sub-class L<Net::LDAP::Search> returned by L<search|Net::LDAP/item_search> also
defines many methods.
If the L<Net::LDAP> object is in async mode then all these methods, except
C<done>, will cause a wait until the request is completed.
