Subject: Writing to the LDAP database


Ok newbie alert ... I've changed the IP and accounts/passwd to protect the
innocent :) What am I doing wrong?  The process binds to the ldap server and
I know that the root dn is right because I can connect with the same on
kldap and modify the database ... I used the example straight out of the
perl module doc

The following code returns the error:

Bad name after Benson' at ldap-convert.pl line 19.

<Code>

use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Entry;

$ldap = Net::LDAP->new('foo.com') or die "$@";

$ldap->bind (   # bind to a directory with dn and password
              dn       => 'cn=root, dc=ifxcorp, dc=com',
              password => 'foopasswd'
             );

$result = $ldap->add (
               dn   => 'cn = Dean Benson, dc=ifxcorp, dc=com',
               attr => [ 'cn'   => ['Dean Benson', 'Deaner Benson'],
                         'sn    => 'Benson',
                         'mail' => 'be...@ho...',
                         'objectclass' => ['top', 'person',
                                           'organizationalPerson',
                                           'inetOrgPerson' ],
                       ]
             );


$result->code && warn "failed to add entry: ", $result->error ;
</Code>
