Nope, I think I misunderstood what the poster wanted.  This will load the vcard
data into an attribute, what he wanted was to parse the vcard data to correspond
to some objectclass.  While we're on the topic I bet there are several people
who'd find your perl script useful,  if you send it to me I can post it on my
website which contains some LDAP stuff (underneath your name in lights).
