$ldap->add hangs...

[Brad D. <brad@DiggsFamily.net>]

I have written a simple script to load a bunch of users from an input
file
(comma separated data) into my directory service.  This perl script uses
Net::LDAP to add the entries.  However, the load hangs on adding the
first entry.  From the server side, I never see an add request.  So, it
seems
like the perl-ldap code is hanging for some reason.  Have you seen this
before?

Here is an excerpt from the perl script:

   #
   # Establish LDAP connection to directory service
   #
   $ldap = new Net::LDAP ($opt_h, port=> $opt_p);

   #
   # will bind as specific user if specified else will be binded
anonymously
   #
   $ldap->bind( $opt_D, password => $opt_w) || die "failed to bind as
$opt_D";

...

         #
         # Add each entry to the directory
         #
         $mycn = "$first_name $last_name";
         $dn = "cn=$mycn, $base_suffix";

         $result = $ldap->add( $dn,
                    attrs => [  'cn'           => $mycn,
                                'sn'           => $last_name,
                                'objectclass'  => [ 'top', 'person',
                                                   
'organizationalPerson',
                                                    'inetOrgPerson' ]
                             ]
                   );
