As far as I understand your task, then you don't want to pull info from RT.
You require CLI that allow you update users info. And script that 
fetches info from LDAP and execute script that updates user record.

Small example that updates user info:

...
use RT::User;
my $u_obj = RT::User->new( $RT::SystemUser );
$u_obj->Load( 'foo at example.com' );
die "No user" unless( $u_obj->id );

$u_obj->Set( Field => 'RealName', Value => 'Foo Z. Bar' );
...
