Your problem is not with samba, nor even ldap in this case. It appears either 
you need to re-install smbldap-passwd, or something is not right with your 
installation of Perl. By the error you are getting, one would assume either 
keyboard input is not being taken properly, or quite possibly the 
telnet/ssh/terminal emulation mode you are using is not being read properly. 
Try the following simple Perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
print "Enter your test name here: ";
my $name = <STDIN>;
print "You entered: '$name' ";

# (END)

Copy those lines into a new file, chmod 755 the file, and run it... you should 
get an output something like this:

Enter your test name here: Test123 With Spaces Before Pressing Enter
You Entered: 'Test123 With Spaces Before Pressing Enter'


If you don't get this output, or something doesn't work at all, you might take 
a look at re-installing/compiling your Perl distribution.
