Use a hash indexed by user name for user data, and another hash indexed by
group (name or number or both) for group data (probably just a dummy entry
to indicate the group exists).

You should have here:
use strict;
use warnings;

... which will force you to put
my $file = ...
here and below for better error checking.

I would use better variable names:
my( $firstname, $lastname, $group ) = split(/,/,$line);
> #on enlève le charcatère "
> ($field1) =~ s/"//g;
> ($field1) = substr($field1, 0, 1);
> ($field2) =~ s/"//g;
> ($field3) =~ s/"//g;
> ($login) = $field1 . $field2;
The parentheses in the above lines are not needed and are confusing.

The /etc/passwd file has lines that are user records with fields separated
by colons (':'). Use split to extract the fields (all untested):
my @data = split(/:/);
Save the data by user name:
my( %users, %groups);
...
$users{$data[0]} = \...@data; # or [...@data] to make a copy
$groups{$data[3]} = 1;
Do this before you read your CSV file. Then you can check if the user
already exists with this:
if( ! exists $users{$login} ) {
# add user
}
or
unless( exists $users{$login} ) {
# add user
}
Note: some Unix systems have the file /etc/shadow that also must be modified
to add a user.
Read and save the contents of /etc/group similarly to see if the group
exists.
