Ola, if I understand you correctly, you're looking for standard RFC-2254 
filter syntax. Things like (for example): 
(&(objectclass=person)(mail=ola*))

If that's what you need, it's there now. Look in the Rdoc for 
Net::LDAP::Filter#construct, which will accept a string like the above. 
The reason we didn't support the standard filter syntax originally was 
because IMHO it sucks :-) and we wanted to give people a better 
alternative. The recommended way to do filters in Net::LDAP is with the 
original API, but we supported the standard filter-syntax because 
several people requested it.
