LDIF Modify errors

[<CZa...@wi...>]

Hello, can anyone help with the LDIF class.

I'm am reading a ldif file and trying to place the contents into a DB, but
I am getting errors and the modify updates are not
being applied to the LDAP service.


ERROR Message:
modifytimestamp attribute has duplicate value. VALUE:   at ldif_modify.pl
line 20, <GEN1> chunk 1.

CODE:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::LDAP qw(:all);
use Net::LDAP::Util qw(ldap_error_desc);
use Net::LDAP::LDIF;


        $ldap = Net::LDAP->new('server.xyz.com', port => '389') || die
"ERROR: $@";
        $ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new("out.ldif", "r") || die "$@";


while ( $entry = $ldif->read_entry ) {

        $r = $ldap->modify( $entry );
        if ($r->code) {
                warn $entry->dn,"; ",$r->error;
        } else {
                printf "%s\n",ldap_error_desc($r->code);
        }
}

It is probably an error in your LDIF file, so it would probably help if you
could send the offending entry in your LDIF file. Note that the
modifyTimestamp attribute is only permitted using the standard schema to
contain one value (makes sense) and it is not modifiable by users.

Cheers,

Chris

You cannot just pass the entry to modify, you need to call update
as a method on the entry. This is because the LDIF entry can be more than
just a modify command. So change it to

  $r = $entry->update( $ldap );
