Your $mesg variable is a Net::LDAP::Message object has a variety of error methods associated with it. I'd start there.

And I'm not 100% certain, but I think the {CRYPT} string needs to be all uppercase.

    On some servers, you cannot update a userPassword string directly(I believe you need to use exop) on yet others, there is password history checking, and a mod will work for one user and not for the next. I'd recommend checking with a command line client to prevent wasting much time.
