<IGNORE> system "cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1,$5}'";

But seriously

open PWD,"</etc/passwd" or die "Cannot open: $!";
while (<PWD>) {
   my ($name,$id) = (split /:/)[0,4];
   print "$name,$id\n";
}
close PWD;

</IGNORE>

Update: i didn't read this very well, did I? .. The above reply is correct. This one isn't.

Sorry...
