I had to populate a replicated DIT with 1150+ users with a number of
objectclasses and attributes from a list of first, middle and last names
producing every thinkable lexical combination of that name to go into
the attributes and ended up by learning awk (Internet, no book). In 4
days I'd produced a script that I still use to make a standard ldif.
awk's very powerful for US ASCII, but at least gawk can't cope with UTF
encodings.

Let me know off list if you want the script.
