Here is a snippet from my PHP code to add email accounts, applying it to
perl is trivial.
if($add_email == "on")
{
$info["objectclass"][5] = "mailrecipient";
$info["objectclass"][6] = "nsmessagingserveruser";
$info["mailalternateaddress"] = $alternatemail;
$info["maildeliveryoption"] = "mailbox";
$info["mailhost"] = $mailhost;
} end if($add_email)
