=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Net::LDAP;
 use Net::LDAP::Constant qw(LDAP_SUCCESS LDAP_CANCELED)
 use Net::LDAP::Extension::Cancel;

$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( 'ldap.mydomain.eg' );

$ldap->bind('cn=Joe User,cn=People,dc=example,dc=com',
             password => 'secret');

                        base     => 'c=US',
                        filter   => '(&(sn=Barr) (o=Texas Instruments))',
                        callback => \&process_entry, # Call this sub for each entry
                      );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Net::LDAP::Extension::Cancel> implements the C<Cancel>
extended LDAPv3 operation as described in RFC 3909.

The C<Cancel> extended operation is very similar to the C<Abandon>
standard operation, and has the same call signature.
Unlike the C<Abandon> operation, it has a response which provides
an indication of its outcome.

It implements no object by itself but extends the L<Net::LDAP> object
by another method:

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item cancel ( OPERATION, OPTIONS )

Cancel an outstanding operation. C<OPERATION> may be a number or an
object which is a sub-class of L<Net::LDAP::Message>, returned from a
previous method call.

OPTIONS is a list of key/value pairs. The following keys are recognized:

=over 4

=item control => CONTROL

=item control => [ CONTROL, .. ]

Control(s) to be passed to the operation.
