Wrtiting to a file in LDIF format

[dakin999]

Hi, I am trying to write to a file elements of an array. The output I
want is simple LDIF format like this:

dn:uid=xxx,cn=yyy,cn=zzz,O=xyz,C=OO
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top

Has some one done something like this using "sprintf" or any other
method?? . Any snippet will be really helpful....

That wheel has already been invented for you:

Yes, I am aware of the this. But I need to construct the LDIF file
first before exporting the data into the LDAP server.

That's what it does, look under the heading Output.

Sorry for the confusion, but I am just looking to create a output LDIF
file without doing anything after that. (No loading to LDAP server,
etc. just a plain LDIF file in the format I mentioned at the top).

Sorry, I forget to mention, I am using perl-ldap, not the mozilla....

I would say perldap-1.4 can do exactly that. Where exactly does it not
meet your needs?
