Well... you have a bunch of Net::LDAP::Entry objects and you write them down in LDIF format using write_entry...

What do you want to be explained?

Anyway, a snippet of code I wrote in 5 minutes

#!/usr/bin/perl
                                                                      
+          
use strict ;
use warnings ;
                                                                      
+          
use Net::LDAP ;
use Net::LDAP::LDIF ;
                                                                      
+          
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new('10.39.0.208',port => 3268) ;
die unless defined $ldap ;
                                                                      
+          
$ldap->bind('a_dn_of_mine', password => 'a_password_of_mine') or die ;
                                                                      
+          
my $res  = $ldap->search(base => 'dc=tiscali,dc=com',
                         filter => '(givenName=Marco)') ;
                                                                      
+          
die $res->code if $res->is_error ;
                                                                      
+          
my $ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new('myself.ldif','w') ;
die unless defined $ldif ;
                                                                      
+          
$ldif->write_entry($res->entries) ;
                                                                      
+          
$ldif->done ;
$ldap->unbind ;

I hope it helps

The very nature of Perl to be like natural language--inconsistant and full of dwim and special cases--makes it impossible to know it all without simply memorizing the documentation (which is not complete or totally correct anyway).
