Dieter, what I'm trying to do is have a separate process (this being the perl script) connect with a persistent search to one of a pair of syncrepl'd multimasters. Are syncrepl and syncprov mutually exclusive? If that's the case, then I'll have to take another tack since I require the syncrepl multimasters and the persistent search via syncprov was a "nice thing to have" but not required.
Tom,
did you really read my answer? http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201008/msg00226.html
Did you read Dieter's answer? Dieter even pointed you to Net::LDAP::Control::SyncRequest.
It's the client-side programming.
Ciao, Michael.
