This is just a wild guess - but perhaps 
chomp $uid;

prior to using it for the ldap call may help.

Please try it, and , for the benefit of others (and the opportunity to earn even more XP), report back whether or not it works.

    Hi,chomp $uid is not working either.

      What was the value of $uid before and after chomp? DDumper it 
       dd( $uid ); ...


sub dd {
  use Data::Dumper;
  print Data::Dumper->new([@_])->Sortkeys(1)
    ->Indent(1)->Useqq(1)->Dump . "\n";
}
