We use qmail-ldap and ldap in general for many user account data storage tasks, and intend to write a nice web-based ldap-explorer type app in perl at some point in the future.
It'd be modeled after MysqlTool (http://dajoba.com/projects/mysqltool), and would hopefully be useful within any context where someone might use a gtk-based 'gq' app (http://biot.com/gq/), except that it'd be web-based. Problem is, I've been intending to get this project start for a while now, but haven't found the (free) time or anyone who would commercially back it. (It'd probably take about $3K US worth of developer time to get an initial version out the door.) At one point I started on a small perl module that would encapsulate access to qmail-ldap's specific ldap scheme within site-specific rules (forwarding options, checks for account duplication/namespace clashes, etc), but it's still at version 0.0001. ;) Perhaps there's someone out there who has a bit of perl experience who wants to collaborate with me on the exact details of how a qmail-ldap perl module's interface should be defined? Having a fellow admin to bounce ideas off of might help kick my perl coding skills into gear...
