Isn't that the usual:

  # store it inside &my_login
  $self->session->param( ad_auth_userinfo => $ad_auth->getUserInfo );

  # use it elsewhere
  my $userinfo = $self->session->param( 'ad_auth_userinfo' );

CAP::Authentication also has a authen->username method that you might be able 
to use. It won't have all your AD info, of course, but it might be enough for 
your application.
