Read LDIF file

bodmin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have an LDIF file containing hundreds of entries however when i run the following code i only get the first printed out. How do i get the complete list?

use Net::LDAP::LDIF;
use Net::LDAP::Entry;
$ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new( "directory.ldif", "r", onerror => 'warn'
+ );

 while( not $ldif->eof ( ) ) {
   $entry = $ldif->read_entry ( );
   if ( $ldif->error ( ) ) {
     print "Error msg: ", $ldif->error ( ), "\n";
     print "Error lines:\n", $ldif->error_lines ( ), "\n";
   } else {
         print $entry->get_value("sn")."\n";
         print $entry->get_value("cn")."\n";
         print $entry->get_value("userPassword")."\n";
         print $entry->get_value("dn")."\n";
         
         @values = $entry->attributes;
       print "default: @values\n";
       @values = $entry->attributes ( nooptions => 1 );
       print "nooptions: @values\n";
   }
 }
