Absolutely. Try this:
my @chars = split //, $str;
that should match the space between every character, and so split
between each. =o)
If for some reason that behaves oddly (and I won't even go into the
case where it might), try this:
my @chars = split /(?:somePatternThatWillNeverMatch)?/, $str;
the ()? means one or none of that pattern, and none is a match, so
it'll work -- but you should never need that.
Have fun!
