Roger that,  got it working with 

	##############################
	# find the instance-dir
	##############################
	$msg = $ldap->search (
                          base    => "cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config",
			  scope   => "sub",
                          filter  => "(objectClass=*)",
                         );

	my $instance_dir = $msg->entry(0)->get_value("nsslapd-directory");
	if (!defined($instance_dir)) {
		print "Unable to determine the instancedir,  pretty big issue,  puking\n";
		exit 1;
	}
	$instance_dir =~ s/\/db//;

Thanks Rich.
