# Net::LDAP::Control::NoOp(3pm)

LDAPv3 Tree Delete control object

## NAME

Net::LDAP::Control::NoOp - LDAPv3 Tree Delete control object

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use Net::LDAP;
 use Net::LDAP::Control::NoOp;
 $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );
 $noop = Net::LDAP::Control::NoOp->new();
 $msg = $ldap->modify( 'cn=Barbara Jensen, o=University of Michigan, c=US',
                       control  => [ $noop ] );
 die "error: ",$msg->code(),": ",$msg->error()  if ($msg->code());
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"Net::LDAP::Control::NoOp"` provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of objects that represent the `"No-Op"` control as described by draft-zeilenga-ldap-noop-01.txt \<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zeilenga-ldap-noop-01\>.

The control, which has no corresponding response control, is appropriate for all LDAP update requests, including add, delete, modify, and moddn.

Its criticality is always `"TRUE"`; it has no value.

The presence of the `"No-Op"` control in an operation request message disables the normal effect of the operation; i.e. the server will do all processing necessary to perform the operation but not actually update the directory.

## CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS

Since the `"NoOp"` control does not have any values, only the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control are supported

## METHODS

As there are no additional values in the control, only the methods in Net::LDAP::Control are available for `"Net::LDAP::Control::NoOp"` objects.

## SEE ALSO
