What does "user" mean? do system accounts qualify? The following tests all entries from getent passwd 

use strict; 
use warnings;

  my @passwd_entries;
  open (USERS, '-|' , 'getent passwd' ) or die $!;
  @passwd_entries = <USERS>;
  close USERS;

  for my $line (@passwd_entries){
    my @parts=split(':',$line);
    unless ($parts[5]){print $parts[0].' '."No home listed\n";}
    else {
      unless (-d $parts[5]) {print $parts[0].' '."dir ".$parts[5]." no
+t found\n";}
      }
    }
