I am performing an LDAP query on different containers read from a file. I have no problem performing this function on Perl 5.8, but when I put it on a different box with Perl 5.6 it simply doesnt read the second string from the file. I think it has something to do with the chomp. 
while (<SUBNET>){
        print $_;
        chomp $_;
        my $base = $_;
        print "test";
        my $look = $ldap->search(
                           base => $base,
                           filter =>'(objectClass=dNIPIPAddressConfigu
+ration)',
                           attrs => ["dNIPAddressNumber", "dNIPHostNam
+e", "dNIPLeaseExpiration",
                                    "dNIPLastUsed", "dNIPAssignmentTyp
+e", "dNIPObjectReference"]);

So the first container works fine, but it then doesnt seem to read the next container. It will print the container, but it doesnt even reach the printed "test".
