You take that entry's dn as search base and search from there with filter '(objectClass=*)', restricting your search scope to one-level (see ldapsearch of openldap; dunno right now how's that in Net::LDAP). If you get results, it's a non-leaf-node.

After RTFMing a bit, here's an example: searching 'dc=example,dc=com'

my $mesg = $ldap->search(
    base => "dc=example,dc=com",
    filter => '(objectClass=*)',
    scope => 'one',
);
foreach my $entry($mesg->all_entries) {
    my $res = 0;
    my $indent = 0;
    while($res = is_leaf($ldap,$entry)) {
        print "  " x $indent, 'non-leaf: ', $entry->dn, "\n";
        $indent++;
        $entry = $res;
    }
    print "  " x $indent, 'leaf: ', $entry->dn, "\n" unless $res; # $r
+es should always be 0;
}

sub is_leaf {
    my ($ldap, $entry) = @_;
    my $res = $ldap->search(
        base => $entry->dn,
        filter => '(objectClass=*)',
        sizelimit => 1,
        scope => 'one',
    );
    if(my @l = $res->all_entries) {
        return $l[0];
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

this will print out all entries and their "leafness" under the base dn. Non-leaf entries are followed, searching the first child, until a leaf node is found.

But I might be parling heck.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
