syntax woes	Can't Post

I tried running this script that I got online and I keep getting this syntax error and I don't know why. Can someone help me? I'm trying to retrieve over 1000 records from Active Directory. The code is below.

Code

use Win32::OLE 'in'; 
$colUsers = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://cn=users,dc=rallencorp,dc=com") 
foreach $objUser (in $colUsers) { 
   print $objUser->Name,"\n"; 
}

I keep getting this message in cmd
syntax error at line 3, near "$objUser ( "

You're missing the semi-colon on the line above it, so perl thinks the foreach line is a continuation of that line.

Thanks guys....
Another thing. I'm trying to create a user with perl and it I keep getting and error:

An invalid directory pathname was passed
Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x80005000 in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "Create". This is the code.

Code

my $fullname = $finame." ".$laname; 
 
my $objParent = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://OU=MyOU,dc=Mydomain,dc=ext"); 
my $objUser   = $objParent->Create("user","cn=".$fullname);  
$objUser->Put("sAMAccountName", $sAMAccountName);   
$objUser->Put("userPrincipalName",$sAMAccountName."$domain"); 
$objUser->Put("givenName", $finame);  
$objUser->Put("sn", $laname);            
$objUser->Put("displayName", $finame." ".$laname); 
$objUser->Put("description","description"); 
$objUser->SetInfo; 
$objUser->SetPassword("Password"); 
$objUser->{AccountDisabled} = FALSE; 
$objUser->SetInfo; 
 
my $homedir = "\\\\server\\ext\\"; 
#my $homedrive = ""; 
my $profile = "\\\\server\\ext\\"; 
 
 
$objUser->Put("profilePath", $profile . $sAMAccountName); 
$objUser->Put("homeDirectory", $homedir . $sAMAccountName); 
$objUser->Put("homeDrive", "z:"); 
$objUser->SetInfo; 
[\code] 
 
My hunch is that something is wrong with the create line "my $objUser   = $objParent->Create("user","cn=".$fullname);" but i can't figure out what it is. Can you help me?
