Well, I did give you an idea of what my problem is.  I'm trying to remove an
attribute from an entry.  No, there's no error message to parse, because
there's no code to give an error.  That's the same reason why there's no
code included in my post.  I'm not getting an error trying to remove an
attribute with faulty code, I just plain don't know how to do it.

Using Net::LDAP's "delete" function, I'm able to remove an entry, but not an
attribute.  Can an attribute be removed using that function or is there
another one?

I'm sure there's a way to do it, since I'm using an LDAP browser that can do
just that.  Too bad I don't have access to the code of the browser.

Thank you.
