Thank you for your code and hint. Updated, see downwards

I tried the code as is, and I get a lot of 
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./data li
+ne 9, <DATA> chunk <number of data line>.

and a lot of empty hits 
cn: 
gid: 
members:

[download]
mixed up data 
cn: username
gid: 102
members:

but also hits, which are right.
This might be lead from dn: being inside irrelevant data blocks.

How to face a block, and only check it out, if it starts with "dn: cn" at the very first line? This would disregard irrelevant data blocks.

Update:
if(/^dn: cn/) {  # skip irrelevant paragraphs

does exactly what I need. Paragraph mode is the one!
