Hi,
I am neither a Perl nor an LDAP expert, but here are some hints:
1) it's better to use chomp instead of chop
2) I think it's better if you pass just a single space (' ') as the first
parameter to split() (without slashes, i.e. the call would be split(' ',$line);
). This means that split() will split using *any whitespace character*, which
is probably what you want.
Hope this helps,
Emil
