If you are using LDIF tou output the entries then any attribute
where the value starts with a space or a : or contains non-ascii
characters will be base64 encoded.

Its odd that Net::LDAP::LDIF would output that in b64, I assume
you are using the LDIF module to output the entry ? Can you post
the code you use to fetch and display the entry
