I'm not clear on what you are trying to achieve. Your problem is probably in the RE. The comma in your RE is greedy.
A "?" within the brackets makes it non greedy. Read
for a good explanation of this subject.
The code below illustrates the difference.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use 5.14.0;
my $str = "cn=group1,cn=xxx,dc=domain,dc=tld cn=group2,cn=xxx,d=domain,dc=tld";
$str =~ /^cn=(.*),.*/;
say $1;
$str =~ /^cn=(.*?),.*/;
say $1;
__END__
*** Output ***
group1,cn=xxx,dc=domain,dc=tld cn=group2,cn=xxx,d=domain
group1
