It's possible the OP would like to extract Active Directory data that has nothing to do with his/her Linux authentication scheme, perhaps for some other use.
It's possible to pull the data with Perl's Net::LDAP and also with Python. And you don't even need a module to write XML data, though it might be easier if you wanted to write very complex XML.

XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter(3pm)
NAME
XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter - output XML in canonical XML format
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter;
$writer = XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter OPTIONS;
$parser->parse(Handler => $writer);
DESCRIPTION
"XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter" is a PerlSAX handler that will return a string or write a stream of canonical XML for an XML instance and
it's content.
"XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter" objects hold the options used for writing the XML objects. Options can be supplied when the the object is
created,
$writer = new XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter PrintComments => 1;
or modified at any time before calling the parser's `"parse()"' method:
$writer->{PrintComments} = 0;
OPTIONS
IOHandle
IOHandle contains a handle for writing the canonical XML to. If an IOHandle is not provided, the canonical XML string will be returned
from `"parse()"'.
PrintComments
By default comments are not written to the output. Setting comment to a true value will include comments in the output.
