Tux242 bites down hard on the bit to prepare for another flogging and loss of XP

Hello, I have a question about pulling from LDAP or metadirectories in the code below I am having problems pulling one of the attributes, fonManagerDN=cn, the cn is the end result of what I want from the fonManagerDN itself not the whole listing, can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? This is more or less a sub of a sub but I can not seem to get the syntax right. The rest of the attributes work fine.

@attr_list = ('cn','fonDeptName','telephoneNumber','l','st','fonManage
+rDN=cn');

# print column header
print LDAPFILE "InputValue:cn:fonDeptName:telephoneNumber:l:st:fonMana
+gerDN=cn\n";

# ************** End of configuration section ***********************


# *******************************************************************

# ************** Initialization ******************

# Set up a search pattern that will recognize any attribute.
$attrs = join(':', @attr_list);

# Create the global variables with an assignment to null.
foreach $attr (@attr_list) { 
    ${$attr} = ""; 
}

#print "Bind using server $ldap_server and ID of $bind_dn\n";

# establish LDAP connection
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new($ldap_server);
unless ($ldap){ 
    my $errmsg = $@;
    print STDERR "Failed to open LDAP session. Error = $errmsg\n";
    exit;
}
