When using the system() function you can either pass it a list of
non-whitespace arguments or a single string containing all the
arguments. Unfortunately some of the arguments in your list contain
whitespace.
chdir $util or die "Cannot chdir to $util: $!";
my @args = ( 'ldapmodify',
'-D', qq("cn=$bdn"),
'-w', $bp,
'-h', $svr,
'-f', qq("$ldif"),
'-c',
'-a'
);
system( @args ) == 0 or die "system @args failed: $?";
