Richard,
Many thanks for your concise summary. Perhaps this could be added to the Wiki FAQ sometime?

What are the disadvantages of sticking with Net::LDAP and not using Mozilla::LDAP::Conn/Entry as the Perl module interface for Fedora DS v.1.0.2?
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.
Thanks
Nick
