OS: Solaris 10 ( X86 ) Hi I am a new bie and have been coding a relatively easy structured programming method. I have a snippet of my program which will: 
#-----Running LDAPMODIFY Against The Ldif File Created-----#
sub RunUpdate
{
    print "--Updating Directory server. Please wait for a moment....\n
+\n";    
    my $resultLdapSearch = `ldapmodify -h $ldap_server -D "cn=Director
+y Manager" -w $dir_mgr_pwd -f $ldap_modify_file`;
    #print "resultLdapSearch: $resultLdapSearch\n";
}

When running the program I get a output error due to the ldapmodify command is trying to update and existing field, as shown below: 
bash-2.05# perl 4-run_update_attributes.pl

Do you want to continue [y]:
--Updating Directory server. Please wait for a moment....

ldap_modify_s: Type or value exists

As you notice, the error "ldap_modify_s: Type or value exists" appears from the "ldapmodify" that I executed. I need to know how do I capture this value and once I find out, I will write some codes to handle this error. Please advice.
