Without escape sequences like "\," and "\+" in the DNs (if that's
allowed anyway, I don't remember the details of X.500 Dn syntax), this
moves serialNumber first in each RDN:

s/(^|,)([^,]*)\+(serialNumber=[^+,]*)(?=[+,])/$1$3+$2/gi;
die "didn't catch all 'foo+serialNumber's" if /\+serialNumber=/i;

That worked great, thanks so much. Just ran it and all 2000 DN's are
properly formatted now.
