Well, I don't know how is the exact rule for the dn, but I'd do it about the following way:
open (FH, $filename) or die ...
local $/ = "\n\n"; # read objects, not lines
while (<FH>) {
chomp($_); # remove \n\n at the end of the object
s/\n //g; # care for continuation lines, e.g. kill them
my @tmpLines = split(/\n\n/, $_);
my %data = ();
foreach my $line (@tmpLines) {
my ($attr, $value) = split(/\s*=\s*/, $line, 2);
# do something with $attr and $value, e.g.
push (@{ $data{$attr} }, $value);
} # foreach
# e.g. extract first uid as dn
my $dn = shift( @{ $data{uid} } );
print "dn: $dn\n";
foreach my $attr (keys %data) {
foreach my $value (@{ $data{$key} }) {
# perhaps you should care to create continuation lines
# or better write the ldif with Net::LDAP::LDIF
print "$attr: $value\n";
}
}
print "\n"; # object separator
} # while
close (FH);
or the like... (not tested)
