which is the first line attempting to write to the LDIF file. You appear to be trying to write a string attribute value 'username'. Net::LDAP::LDIF expects the parameter to 'write' to be a valid Net::LDAP::Entry object. You need to construct a Net::LDAP::Entry object for every LDAP object you want to create in your LDIF file, and pass that to 'write'.

Example: 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::LDAP::LDIF;
use Net::LDAP;

my @entryvalues = qw( testuser testcn testsn );

my $entry = Net::LDAP::Entry->new();

$entry->dn("cn=".$entryvalues[1].",ou=test,dc=test,dc=com");
$entry->add(    "uid"   =>      $entryvalues[0],
                "cn"    =>      $entryvalues[1],
                "sn"    =>      $entry[2],
                "objectclass"=> "inetorgperson" );

my $ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new("file.ldif","w");

$ldif->write($entry);
