I tested the DN above with perl-ldap 0.33 using the simple LDIF

dn: cn="cn=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]",ou=site,o=org
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: "cn=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

and the simple test script

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::LDAP::LDIF;
use Net::LDAP::Entry;

$in = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new('-', 'r');

while (defined(my $e = $in->read_entry())) {
        $e->dump();
}
$in->done();

# EOF

and did not encunter any problems (neither in Linux i386 & Perl 5.8.7
nor in Linux x86_64 & Perl 5.8.3)

Please note that you not only have a < in the RDN, but a really complex string 
surrounded by quotes. Do you have this exact value in the cn attribute ?

Hope it helps
Peter
