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.
