It enables different levels of protocol debugging, which can be useful when
trying to work out what sort of junk we're sending the server, or what junk
the server's sending us :-)

The documentation for the debug method in the Net::LDAP manpage says:

---
debug ( VALUE )
    If "VALUE" is given the debug bit-value will be set. The previous
    value will be returned. Debug output will be sent to "STDERR". The
    bits of this value are:

    1   Show outgoing packets (using asn_hexdump).
    2   Show incoming packets (using asn_hexdump).
    4   Show outgoing packets (using asn_dump).
    8   Show incoming packets (using asn_dump).

    The default value is 0.
