I have a web form that collects information and submits it to a cgi that attempts to insert the data into LDAP. The problem is that I'm trying to use a variable with ::ldap::add and it's just not working. Here's the code:

if {[string length env(QUERY_STRING)] != 0} {
    set handle [::ldap::connect localhost]
    set dn "cn=admin,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
    set pw "myPassword"

    ::ldap::bind $handle $dn $pw

    set dn "cn=[ncgi::value givenName] [ncgi::value sn],ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com"

    set formValues [
            puts "cn        {{[ncgi::value givenName] [ncgi::value sn]}}"
            puts "displayName       [ncgi::value givenName] [ncgi::value sn]"
            foreach {key value} [ncgi::nvlist] {
                    if {[string length $value] != 0} {
                            puts "$key      $value"
                    }
            }
            puts "objectClass       top"
            puts "objectClass       person"
            puts "objectClass       organizationalPerson"
            puts "objectClass       inetOrgPerson"
    ]

    ::ldap::add $handle $dn {
            $formValues
    }

    ldap::unbind $handle

}

However, if I replace $formValues with the actual entries that I want to insert into LDAP, they get added just fine.

I'm new to TCL so I wouldn't be surprised if there were some glaring errors in this snippet.

Thanks in advance!
