I re-did the code to match you're strategy, cause I am not against changing what I am doing. This is my first time with Perl/LDAP and it is a time pressed issue so I really appreciate all you're help and guidance. After re-writing the code it is still experiencing the same issue. Here is the new code. 
sub ldapsearch {
        my $mac = shift;
        print "$mac\n";
        my $searchobj = $connection->search(
                                        base    => 'o=ldap',
                                        scope    => 'sub',
                                        filter    => "cn=$mac",
                                        attrs    => @attrs, #note I al
+so tried \@attrs
                                    );
        $searchobj->code && die $searchobj->error;

        while ( my $entry = $searchobj->shift_entry) {
            print $entry->dn, "\n";
            print $entry->get_value('plan');
            print $entry->get_value('ipaddress');
            print $entry->get_value('username');
        }
}
