For this, I search on the "objectclass" attribute being present.
Something like:
  $mesg = $ldap->search (
                base => 'o=SGCS',
                filter => '(objectclass=*)',
                );
would do it.

:When I unbind at the end of the script, I get the following error:
:"Can't call method "pdu" on an undefined value at 
:/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Net/LDAP.pm line 536"

This is a minor bug, which is corrected in the development version.

:$mesg   = $ldap->search (
:               base => 'o=SGCS',
:               filter => '(&(sn=Surnametest) (o=SGCS))',
:               );

"o" is not an attribute in the specified objectclasses, so you cannot
search on it.  Since you are already limiting yourself to the "o=SGCS"
users with the "base", using:
  $mesg   = $ldap->search (
                 base => 'o=SGCS',
                 filter => '(sn=Surnametest)',
                 );
should get you what you want.
