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

LDAPv3 Tree Delete control object

## NAME

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

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use Net::LDAP;
 use Net::LDAP::Control::TreeDelete;
 $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );
 $treedel = Net::LDAP::Control::TreeDelete->new( critical => 1 );
 $msg = $ldap->delete( 'o=University of Michigan,c=US',
                       control  => [ $treedel ] );
 die "error: ",$msg->code(),": ",$msg->error()  if ($msg->code());
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"Net::LDAP::Control::TreeDelete"` provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of objects that represent the `"TreeDelete"` control as described by draft-armijo-ldap-treedelete-02.txt \<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-armijo-ldap-treedelete-02\>

It allows the client to delete an entire subtree.

The control is appropriate for LDAP delete operations \[RFC4511\] only, and inappropriate for all other operations.

Its criticality may be TRUE or FALSE; it has no value.

There is no corresponding response control.

## CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS

Since the `"TreeDelete"` 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::TreeDelete"` objects.

## SEE ALSO

Net::LDAP, Net::LDAP::Control,
