How would a script look like to create many user
from a file separated with commas like:
ben508,stupid,/home/ben058
ben509,butt,home/ben509

Anyway, 'man useradd' and 'man perlintro' and a bit of experimentation:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open(INFILE, "input.txt") or die "Can't open input.txt: $!";
open(OUTFILE, ">output.txt") or die "Can't open output.txt: $!";
while (<INFILE>) {
if ($_ =~ /^([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+)\n$/) {
print OUTFILE "useradd -d $3 -p $2 $1\n";
}
}

If you wanted to do it purely in as a shell command, you would
cut -d':' -f 1,3,6 /etc/passwd | sed -e 's/:/,/'
Alternatively (and possibly more efficiently, though probably not for
something quite so simple) you could use awk:
awk 'BEGIN { FS=":"; } { printf "%s,%s,%s\n", $1, $3, $6; }' /etc/passwd
