You get this error because you did not specify the value for
deleteoldrdn, which AFAICT is required for the moddn or modrdn
operations.
Since you did not specify it, I guess you wanted it to be 0.
Inserting
$entry->add(deleteoldrdn => 0)
before the line doing the update does the trick.
I have had a look at the code and found a little inconsistency
with the current version.
While $ldap->update() works without requiring deleteoldrnd
(it assumes it to be 0 in this case), $entry->update()
currently fails horribly.
The reason for this is that $entry->update() requests the
attributes in list context in order to build a list that
eventually becomes a hash in the called functions.
When the attribute does not exist, an empty list is returned,
making the hash-detection get mis-aligned and thus crete
the error above.
A fix has just been committed to SVN.
Regards
Peter
