And I would like to apply the structure to my LDAP server.

Net::LDAP::Ldif accepts file name or file handle only.

Anyone has an idea how I can apply the LDIF string to LDAP?

You can use IO::Scalar or

  open(my $fh, "<", \$ldap_struct);

I forget which version of perl added the passing of a scalar ref to  
open.
