Shadows

Is there a way to ignore light sources for a specific object?

Basically I have a scene containing 2 light sources.
I have two cubes and I want one of them to cast no shadows at all, and the other should only cast shadows for 1 of the two light sources. (I want to achieve some perspective shadow on a plane if this is possible, therefore the "global illumination" should not affect it)

Nope, it is not possible. But you may be able to work with AOVs and/or merging multiple renderings to achieve your result (but I'm not sure what you are exactly aiming for).
