Once it gets to the line you indicated, $entry is going to be some sort of emptiness or false... either you hit on ( !$entry ) in your if, or your while($entry) was false because that's how it was set in 

entry = $AD_conn->nextEntry();

And indeed the error indicates that $entry == "" when you try to dereference it.

So... maybe try creating your new entry within the while loop?

    while ($entry ) {

        # Create the new Directory entry
        #
        my $new_entry = new Mozilla::LDAP::Entry;
        # etc.

        $entry = $AD_conn->nextEntry();
    }    # End of while loop
