Concering the entries thee is no simpler way, since the Net::LDAP::Search
objects return Net::LDAP::Entry objects (and not simple hashes).
But you may check with $result->code() if there was an error and
$result->count() how many entries were found.
[instead of testing for defined($result->entry(0))]
For the values there is help:
Instead of doing everything wit references, why don't you simply use the
values itself:
# get value from entry (set it to empty string if it is not in the entry)
$homedir = $entry->get_value('homedirectory') || '';
print $homedir."\n";
