You would actually need to do a Password Modify extended operation for
this to work. The 'ldappasswd' command does this for you, but I am not
sure whether Net::LDAP supports it.
If you make the changes using ordinary LDAP modify operations then you
will need to supply pre-crypted passwords, complete with the {CRYPT}
prefix.
