Thanks that code works perfectly, I tested it with the following and it created my contact, "SAMAccountName" isn't a required field for contacts, all they really seem to need is the "dn" and "objectClass" fields.
use strict;
use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Entry;
my $ldap_prov = "server";
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldap_prov) || die;
print ("\nUsername for connection: ");
my $username = <STDIN>;
print ("\nPassword: ");
my $password = <STDIN>;
chomp $username;
chomp $password;
my $bind = $ldap->bind($user, password => $password, $version => 3);
my $contact = Net::LDAP::Entry->new();
my $name = "Bob Smith";
my $email = 'bobs@website.com';
$contact->dn(
"cn=$name,ou=Website External Contacts,"
."dc=corp,dc=website,dc=com"
);
$contact->add(objectClass => 'contact');
$contact->add(name => $name);
$contact->add(displayName => $name);
$contact->add(mail => $email);
$contact->add(targetAddress => "SMTP:$email");
my $result = $contact->update($ldap);
$ldap->unbind;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
