Modifying multiple dns with a single function call

I am looking for something like this.

dn: cn=User1,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: mail
mail: user1 at example.com

dn: cn=User2,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: mail
mail: user2 at example.com

dn: cn=User3,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: mail
mail: user3 at example.com

I want to make all the above changes with a single function call. Is 
this possible or should I call modify_s once for each dn entry?

Regards,
Rahul.
