in thread strange LDAP bust

I am able to open the file without a problem. The search works for the first container, but fails for the rest. The same script worked fine on my other box. If I don't chomp the string, all the queries fail, but at least I see "test" printed

    OK. (digging a little deeper...) What happens when you do something like: 
      #!/usr/bin/perl -w 
$|++;
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

open(STUFF,"< containers.txt") or die "containters.txt:$!";
my @slurp=<STUFF>;
close STUFF:
chomp @slurp;
printf "%s\n",join(",",@slurp);

    Are you seeing all your data?

    Another (random) thought: Are you checking error codes from LDAP?

      That prints all my containers successfully. This is so wierd!! And there is no LDAP error.

      I had a similar odd behavior on my original box, but after fiddling with chomp(pending on if I chomped $_ or chomped the variable I gave the value of $_) the script finally worked.
      I'm going to play around with it some more....
