hi graham,

i am using Net::LDAP for a project and i found a minor bug in the
module. if i do a search call and don't pass in a filter, it barfs out
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Net/LDAP/Filter.pm line 167, 
<DATA>
line 283.

the code there is stripping leading white space off the filter but of
course if none was passed in, it spits out the undef value warning. the
docs don't seem to say filter is required (i am not an ldap expert and
someone else is helping me with this). so i think the search method
should set the filter to '' or return an error if filter is not set.
thanx,

uri
