Here's an (untested) implementation of what I think you want:

my ($section, $code, %passwds);
while (<>) {
   chomp;
   if (/^\[(.*?)\]$/) { $section = $1; next; }
   if ($section eq 'CODE') {  $code = $_; }
   elsif ($section eq 'PASS') {
      my ($name,$pass) = split;
      $passwds{$name} = $pass;
   }
}

This actually makes a hash to map the names to passwords rather than creating a bunch of scalars. There's other ways you could do it too.
