new($class, ...)

A command object fabric. Looks for a perl module for $class, loads it and returns an instance of that class. Surplus arguments (...) are passed as parameters to the underlying class constructor.

Input data for plugin is a hash:

      cf           reference to Config class object
      force        force all actions done on start
      log          reference to Logg class object
      obj          reference to Net::LDAP object
      out_file_old ... looks like it is not needed any more ...
      prog         program name and version
      rdn          RDN of a LDAP object event relates to
      s            service
      st           syncrepl state
      ts_fmt       timestamp format
      v            verbosity

Each plugin should provide two methods

ldap_sync_add_modify and ldap_sync_delete

names

Returns hash of plugins available, where key is a plugin name and the value is path to plugin file.

For each plugin an attempt is made to load it, to ensure the module is usable.
