Hello Jose , You need to bind to the ldap server from there on , and use the count method to get the number of entries . Try including the below piece of code inside your subroutine,changing the $ldapserver to point to each of your hosts . The filter filter => "(objectClass=*)" , will get all of the entries Hope this helps !!!

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::LDAP;

my $ldapserver = "<Server Name>"; 
my $ldapbase = "ou=people,ou=Urania,ou=Eng,dc=example,dc=com"; 
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( $ldapserver ) or die "$@"; 
my $mesg = $ldap->bind("cn=user>,ou=people,ou=Urania,ou=Eng,dc=example
+,dc=com", password=>'<user>');

$mesg = $ldap->search( base => $ldapbase, filter => "(objectClass=*)")
+;
my @entries = $mesg->count;
print "@entries\n";
$mesg = $ldap->unbind;
