Net::LDAP might be able to handle LDIF change record syntax (as output 
to the audit log).

You could create the perl script as a named pipe.  
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Named_Pipe_Log_Script - this is 
in python, and I would encourage the use of python instead of perl, but 
I don't think python-ldap can handle LDIF change record syntax (it can 
handle regular LDIF just fine, and you may find that it is easy to 
modify that to handle change record syntax rather than writing something 
from scratch in perl.  Of course, if you are a perl hacker, I won't hold 
that against you . . .)
