Chris,
Two things might be an issue. First (and less likely) check to see that you
are binding as an account with sufficient priveleges to delete users. The more
probable thing is that you are choking the server by sending too many requests
at nearly the same time. First, try just exiting after
$ldap->delete($entry->dn( ) );
If that works, try putting a 1 second pause after the same.
