this sample perl-code prints out the LDIF-dataformat, such as it
"ldapsearch" does ;) you might have to modify the search/filter
criteria.....

a simple REGEXP search might be:

s/^(.*)\:\s(.*)/

i often use an "global ldapsearch", and then i pipe this to "grep".

for example:

ldapsearch -L -D "o=DHW,c=DE" -D "uid=admin,o=DHW,c=DE" -w "xxxxxxx" \(objectclass=\*\) |grep -i XXXX
