Have you tried www.freshmeat.net, www.sourceforge.com, and
http://www.cpan.org for another application?  There are a great many out
there for editing LDAP trees.

The previous post wanted to see your PERL code, which if you are having a
problem, you might consider posting.  Some of us that are familiar with both
might possibly be able to help you out.
