- Please bottom-post your responses to this list, so that extended threads can
  remain comprehensible. Thank you.

- This isn't really a Perl problem is it. You're having problems setting up LDAP
  accounts. You could write a program in almost any language to do the same
  thing.

- You are trying to create a group (by shelling out to groupadd) for each user.
  I believe that is fruitless as groups exist only to allow joint access at a
  different level from the user's own. Since you have a umask of 0700 you may as
  well use a single group called 'student' or perhaps 'S08' or something
  similar.

- Try things at the command prompt. If they don't work there then coding a Perl
  program to do them en masse won't help at all.
