Net::LDAP::Constant unexpectedly overwriting $_

Hi!

I found that requiring Net::LDAP::Constant trashes the global $_ variable
with "=cut". This can have quite unintended consequences when $_ is already
used by outer code (for example, when loading modules in a loop).

As a general rule, in perl, when you use a global variable, you should save
and restore it (map, for etc. all do this).

But Net::LDAP::Constant doesn't:

   while(<DATA>) {
     last if /^=cut/;

May I suggest a "local $_" before that loop so it doesn't trash global
variables anymore?

Thanks a lot!
