It'll work just fine with multi-valued attributes - the trick is that you have to call get_value in an array context, and then it'll return an array of all the values. Otherwise it'll just return one of them.

See <http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap-0.4001/lib/Net/LDAP/Entry.pod#get_value>

I usually use it something like this:

my (@vals) = $entry->get_value("objectClass");
foreach my $val (@vals) {
   ...
}
