I guess the OP is getting te error message:
        First line of LDIF entry does not begin with 'dn:'

As far as I found out, this is due to the fact that Perl's paragraph mode
that Net::LDAP::LDIF uses,  seems to rely on the "natural" line ends for
the platform.

My tests showed that paragraph mode = slurp mode for files with CR+LF line 
endings on a Linux platform, which uses LF line ends.
Really strange ;-)
