Hi Perl Gurus, i have written the script below to modify attribute on LDAP Directory. But i cant make the changes 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::LDAP;

$ldap = new Net::LDAP('localhost') or die "$@";

$ldap->bind( dn       => 'uid=xxx,ou=org,o=xxx.com',
             password => 'secret'
           ) || die $@;

           
my $dn = "uid=atype,ou=org,o=com";
my $description = "banana";

$msg = $ldap->modify ( $dn,
                       replace => { 'description' => $description }
                     ) || warn "Failed to modify entry. $!";

print "msg is $msg\n";

$ldap->unbind;

i received the following error, when i run the perl script and the attribute not updated on LDAP Directory

msg is Net::LDAP::Modify=HASH(0x1bfe7a4)

Can you please let me know what is my mistake in here, or how to make sure the update take place on LDAP

Thank you in advanced.
