I know that *.pl (*.cgi) script must have 755 access mode.

But I have 1 problem:

I have a script and I don't want that other users on the site can read it, but can execute.

I want to make source unreadable (there's a passwords in them that should be kept in secret).

Any ideas?

chmod 775 ..might work :) or 711.

Huh. If I set 711, everybody (others) can READ the script, but not run it! I need vice versa: run it, but not read!

so is it possible or not??

Try 700

Not the way you would like it.
If suexec is available then the webserver would run the script as your user account so 700 would do the job. Or you could compile the perl script with perlcc and make passwords unreadable to some extent.
