$entry already exists in LDAP, and I'm just trying to add this new objectClass and related attributes to the entry. Am I doing this the wrong way?
Should I be using a function other than entry->add(), like $ldap->modify()?

John,
I effectively did that by commenting out lines 1 and 2 individually and simultaneously with no dice. When I comment them both out, I get the error that objectClass ntUser requires the attribute ntUserDomainId, so I think at least those two must be added together.

value #0 is referring to the entry's first attribute type value, please check this value.
Thanks everyone for all the assistance. I finally found the source of my error. I was assigning ntUserDomainId inside an if block earlier in the code like this:
if (something) { my $ntUserDomainId = something_else;
Obviously, this scoped $ntUserDomainId incorrectly, so it was undefined in my entry->add function. A subtle mistake that I kept overlooking. I used the debugger, but was checking it's value as soon as it was defined, and not where the error was actually occuring. D'oh!

What does your $ntUserDomainId value look like?
If you call $ldap->debug(15) before $entry->add you will get some extra output showing what perl's sent to your server, and that should provide a big clue.

Thanks for the tip. I figured out the source of my problem (you probably are reading your e-mails in order so haven't gotten to that one yet), but that's a trick that will be very helpful in the future.
