Unless you can prove that back-perl LDIF parser doesn't work with decently formatted LDIF, I'll consider this ITS closed.

It *is* buggy proove me the contrary and be not so arrogant.

OK, I'll be less "arrogant". I've tested back-perl with your script corrected, and it works exactly as expected both with OpenLDAP 2.3 and with OpenLDAP 2.4. What are corrections?

1)

<attr>: <value>

2) eliminate nonsensical "\t" at end of each line. What is really offending is the space between "attr" and ":" and the last "\t", while the other "\t" seem to be tolerated (I suggest to fix str2entry() in order to detect this malformation as well).

It took me 5 minutes to rebuild with back-perl and find the error, and it's the first time in my life that I program perl.
